    Abstract: A coherent light source outputs coherent light including high-order harmonics obtained by irradiating short-pulse laser light to a nonlinear medium. A spectrometer includes a grating that diffracts the coherent light and an image sensor that measures an image of the diffracted light. In a first state, a first double slit having a pair of apertures spaced apart in a first direction is arranged at a predetermined position between coherent light source and an incident slit of spectrometer. In a second state, a second double slit that is a replica of first double slit is arranged at the predetermined position as a replacement of first double slit with a sample held in one aperture. A calculation processing device calculates optical constants of the sample based on interference images measured in the first and second states.

    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: Described herein is a wavelength reference device comprising a housing defining an internal environment having a known temperature. A broadband optical source is disposed within the housing and configured to emit an optical signal along an optical path. The optical signal has optical power within a wavelength band of interest. An optical etalon is also disposed within the housing and positioned in the optical path to filter the optical signal to define a filtered optical signal that includes one or more reference spectral features having a known wavelength at the known temperature. The device also includes an optical output for outputting the filtered optical signal.

    Abstract: An optical device includes: a base which includes a main surface; a movable mirror which includes a mirror surface; a first and a second elastic support portions which support the movable mirror so as to be movable along a first direction perpendicular to the main surface; an actuator which moves the movable mirror; and a first optical function portion which is disposed at one side of the movable mirror in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first elastic support portion includes a pair of first levers extending from the movable mirror toward both sides of the first optical function portion in a third direction perpendicular to the first and the second directions. A length of each of first levers in the second direction is larger than the shortest distance between an outer edge of the mirror surface and an edge of the first optical function portion.
