Abstract: Configurations for light source modules and methods for mitigating coherent noise are disclosed. The light source modules may include multiple light source sets, each of which may include multiple light sources. The light emitted by the light sources may be different wavelengths or the same wavelength depending on whether the light source module is providing redundancy of light sources, increased power, coherent noise mitigation, and/or detector mitigation. In some examples, the light source may emit light to a coupler or a multiplexer, which may then be transmitted to one or more multiplexers. In some examples, the light source modules provide one light output and in other examples, the light source modules provide two light outputs. The light source modules may provide light with approximately zero loss and the wavelengths of light may be close enough to spectroscopically equivalent respect to a sample and far enough apart to provide coherent noise mitigation.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for calibrating an optical system that is used for measuring optical properties of a portion of a subjects body. During a calibration stage, a front surface of a calibration object (300) is illuminated, light reflected from a plurality of points on the calibration object (300) is detected, and intensities of the light reflected from the plurality of points on the calibration object (300) are measured. During a measurement stage, the portion of the subjects body is illuminated, and light reflected from the portion of the subjects body is detected. Measurements performed upon the light that was reflected from the portion of the subjects body are calibrated, using the measured intensities of the light reflected from the plurality of points on the calibration object (300). Other applications are also described.

Abstract: Frequency registration deviations occurring during a scan of a frequency or wavelength range by a spectroscopic analysis system can be corrected using passive and/or active approaches. A passive approach can include determining and applying mathematical conversions to a recorded field spectrum. An active approach can include modifying one or more operating parameters of the spectroscopic analysis system to reduce frequency registration deviation.

Abstract: In the disclosure provided herein, the described apparatus, systems and methods are directed to compensation of errors caused by the difference between the specular port and the sphere in a sphere-based color-measurement instrument, and improvement of the performance of the instrument. In one or more implementations, described approaches eliminate the need for hardware replacement, and therefore reduce costs associated with the operation of color measurement instruments.

Abstract: A method is provided of calibrating a lighting system to enable conversion between i) light output settings for a plurality of lighting channels of the lighting system, each channel having a respective color spectrum from a first set of color spectra, and ii) a light intensity at an area of interest for each of a second set of color spectra. The method derives a calibration matrix, based on a set default light outputs from the lighting channels, a mapping to light spectra to be measured, and light intensities measured at those light spectra. This calibration procedure takes advantage of the fact that using the same measurement device conventionally used for a simple calibration, it is possible to retrieve not only the total measured PPFD, but also partial PPFD values per spectral range.
