Abstract: An apparatus includes a spectrometer receiving an optical input signal that includes an input optical spectrum. The spectrometer includes a fiber laser cavity pumped by a first optical replica of the optical input signal that generates stimulated Brillouin scattering traveling in a direction opposite to a direction of the optical input signal. The first optical replica of the optical input signal excites at least one lasing mode in the fiber laser cavity. The at least one lasing mode respectively includes at least one lasing mode frequency. The at least one lasing mode frequency is onset by a respective Brillouin frequency shift from the respective at least one input frequency. The spectrometer also includes an optical heterodyne receiver. The optical heterodyne receiver generates the electrical output signal. The spectrometer outputs a measurement of the input optical spectrum based on the respective Brillouin frequency shift and the at least one input frequency.

Abstract: An optical sensor device includes an optical filter, an optical element, and an optical sensor that includes a plurality of sensor elements. The optical filter is configured to pass, to the optical element, first light beams that are associated with a first subrange of a spectral range and that impinge on the optical filter within a first incidence angle range; and to pass, to the optical element, second light beams that are associated with a second subrange of the spectral range and that impinge on the optical filter within a second incidence angle range. The optical element is configured to cause, based on receiving the first light beams, the first light beams to be directed to a first region of an optical sensor; and to cause, based on receiving the second light beams, the second light beams to be directed to a second region of the optical sensor.

Abstract: A method for calibrating an image sensor begins by illuminating a portion of the image sensor with an input light spectrum, where the input light spectrum includes light of known wavelength and intensity. The method continues by sampling an output for each optical sensor of the image sensor, where each optical sensor is associated with one or more optical filters and where each optical filter being associated with a group of optical filters of a plurality of groups of optical filters. Each optical filter of a group of optical filters is configured to pass light in a different wavelength range and at least some optical filters in different groups of the plurality of groups of optical filters are configured to pass light in substantially a same wavelength range. The method then continues by comparing a sampled output for each optical sensor of the plurality of optical sensors with an expected output and generating a calibration factor for each of at least a subset of the plurality of optical sensors and storing the generated calibration factors in memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approximation-free and iteration-free method for spectral analysis of an intracavity electro-optic modulation type optical frequency comb, a device and a medium. The method includes: calculating a residual phase delay of a single propagation of laser in a resonant cavity, analyzing outgoing transmission characteristics of a light source of the intracavity electro-optic modulation type optical frequency comb, accumulating laser electric field intensities corresponding to all cyclic propagation times n to obtain an outgoing laser electric field intensity E, obtaining a new approximate-free outgoing laser electric field intensity E′ of the intracavity electro-optic modulation type optical frequency comb, obtaining an outgoing laser electric field intensity Ek′ of kth-order comb teeth, calculating an outgoing laser light intensity Ik of the kth-order comb teeth and accurately analyzing a spectrum of the intracavity electro-optic modulation type optical frequency comb, determining a working state according to a simulated spectral envelope curve, and guiding the subsequent optimization design and debugging. The method for the spectral analysis of the optical frequency comb is higher in accuracy without approximation and faster in speed without iteration, and can analyze the spectrum of the intracavity electro-optic modulation type optical frequency comb according to any known working mode.

Abstract: An optical system includes an optical element and an optical filter with a first set of channels and a second set of channels respectively associated with a first region and a second region of the optical filter. The optical element causes first light beams and second light beams associated with a subject to respectively fall incident on the first region within a first incidence angle range and on the second region within a second incidence angle range. A first channel, of the first set of channels, passes, based on the first incidence angle range, a set of the first light beams that are associated with a first subrange of a particular wavelength range. A second channel, of the second set of channels, passes, based on the second incidence angle range, a set of the second light beams that are associated with a second subrange of the particular wavelength range.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are disclosed to detect and compensate wavefront errors associated with light that spans a large range of wavelengths and different polarization states. One example system includes an optical wavefront sensor that is positioned to receive input light after propagation through a turbulent medium, such as air or water or other liquids, and to detect a wavefront error associated with at least one spectral component of the received light that has a plurality of spectral components. The system further includes a wavefront compensator that is positioned to receive the input light and to simultaneously effectuate wavefront corrections for the plurality of spectral components of the input light based on the detected wavefront error.

Abstract: An approach to noninvasively and remotely detect the presence, location, and/or quantity of a target substance in a scene via a spectral imaging system comprising a spectral filter array and image capture array. For a chosen target substance, a spectral filter array is provided that is sensitive to selected wavelengths characterizing the electromagnetic spectrum of the target substance. Elements of the image capture array are optically aligned with elements of the spectral filter array to simultaneously capture spectrally filtered images. These filtered images identify the spectrum of the target substance. Program instructions analyze the acquired images to compute information about the target substance throughout the scene. A color-coded output image may be displayed on a smartphone or computing device to indicate spatial and quantitative information about the detected target substance. The system desirably includes a library of interchangeable spectral filter arrays, each sensitive to one or more target substances.

Abstract: Optical devices that include one or more structures fabricated from polar-dielectric materials that exhibit surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), where the SPhPs alter the optical properties of the structure. The optical properties lent to these structures by the SPhPs are altered by introducing charge carriers directly into the structures. The carriers can be introduced into these structures, and the carrier concentration thereby controlled, through optical pumping or the application of an appropriate electrical bias.

Abstract: A spectroscopic device, which may be a handheld spectroscopic light source, which uses ambient light as a primary broadband light source, but which may be supplemented with an auxiliary light source to supplement band regions which may be deficient in the broad band source. The spectroscopic device makes use of a number of parallel control channels to monitor for sufficient light and to compensate for variations in the input light levels.
