Abstract:
The present invention concerns an optical measurement system comprising an electrically tunable Peltier element, a detector for detecting radiation from a radiation source in a measurement area, the detector being in thermal connection with the Peltier element, an electrically tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer placed in the path of the radiation prior to the detector, the Fabry-Perot interferometer being in thermal connection with the Peltier element, and control electronics circuitry configured to control the Peltier element, the interferometer, and the detector. The present invention further concerns a method for analyzing the spectrum of an object.
Abstract:
A spectrometer 1A includes a light detection element 20 provided with a light passing part 21 and a light detection part 22, a support 30 fixed to the light detection element 20 such that a space S is formed between the light passing part 21 and the light detection part 22, a first reflection part 11 provided in the support 30 and configured to reflect light L1 passing through the light passing part 21 in the space S, a second reflection part 12 provided in the light detection element 20 and configured to reflect the light L1 reflected by the first reflection part 11 in the space S, and a dispersive part 40 provided in the support 30 and configured to disperse and reflect the light L1 reflected by the second reflection part 12 to the light detection part 22 in the space S.
Abstract:
In a state that the body portion 4 is regulated by inner wall planes 27, 29, 28 of the package 3 so as not to move in parallel or perpendicularly with respect to the rear plane 4b, the spectroscopic module is directly supported by the package 3, thereby when the spectrometer is downsized, the spectroscopic module 2 can be supported securely and also there is provided securely a positional accuracy between the light incident opening 22a of the package 3, the spectroscopic portion 6 of the spectroscopic module 2 and the light detecting element 7. Further, the lead 23 is buried into the package 3 to give derivation and support by the lead deriving portion 26, thereby the lead deriving portion 26 in itself of the package 3 is allowed to act as a base when wire bonding is conducted to electrically connect the lead 23 with the light detecting element 7, thus preventing breakage and deviation of the spectroscopic module 2.
Abstract:
Technologies are described for monitoring characteristics of layers of integrated computational elements (ICEs) during fabrication using an in-situ spectrometer operated in step-scan mode in combination with lock-in or time-gated detection. As part of the step-scan mode, a wavelength selecting element of the spectrometer is discretely scanned to provide spectrally different instances of probe-light, such that each of the spectrally different instances of the probe-light is provided for a finite time interval. Additionally, an instance of the probe-light interacted during the finite time interval with the ICE layers includes a modulation that is being detected by the lock-in or time-gated detection over the finite time interval.
Abstract:
An apparatus can include ablation chamber body having a transmission window and defining an accommodation region configured to accommodate a target that is movable relative to the transmission window. An aerosol transmission conduit is configured to transport an aerosol produced within the accommodation region to a sample receiving region of an analysis system along a substantially straight transport path.
Abstract:
An optical pressure sensor is disclosed having a pressure sensing optical cavity. A temperature sensing optical cavity at the sensor head is used by an interrogator to correct a pressure signal for effects of temperature. The optical cavities may be, for example, Fabry Perot cavities in the sensor head.
Abstract:
The invention relates to controllable Fabry-Perot interferometers which are produced with micromechanical (MEMS) technology. The prior art interferometers have a temperature drift which causes inaccuracy and requirement for complicated packaging. According to the invention the interferometer arrangement has both an electrically tuneable interferometer and a reference interferometer on the same substrate. The temperature drift is measured with the reference interferometer and this information is used for compensating the measurement with the tuneable interferometer. The measurement accuracy and stability can thus be improved and requirements for packaging are lighter.
