[Solution] An inspection object imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes: a light source configured to produce a light beam belonging to an infrared wavelength band and having a predetermined spread half-angle on a surface of an inspection object; a projection optical system configured to project the light beam on the surface of the inspection object at a predetermined projection angle; and an imaging unit configured to image reflected light from the surface of the inspection object. The imaging unit includes an imaging optical system including at least one convex lens, configured to condense reflected light and branch the reflected light to two different directions, and a first image sensor and a second image sensor each configured to image the reflected light that has passed through the imaging optical system. The first image sensor is positioned on the inspection object side with respect to a position of the imaging optical system that is conjugate with the surface of the inspection object, along an optical axis of the reflected light. The second image sensor is positioned on the reflected-light travel direction side with respect to the conjugate position.

Abstract: Radiation scattering is one of the main contributors to the uncertainty of near infrared (NIR) measurements. Enhanced absorption-measurement accuracy for NIR sensors is achieved by using a combination of NIR spectroscopy and time-of-flight techniques to select photons that are the result of a given mean free path within a moving sample target. By measuring absorption as a function of path length or by windowing signals that are attributable to excessive scattering of NIR radiation within the sample, this technique affords the calculation of more accurate and more universal calibrations. The NIR sensor employs short or ultra-short laser pulses to create NIR that is directed to the moving sample and emerging radiation is detected over time. Windowing effectively truncates non-contributing measurements.

Abstract: An optical pulse source 30 comprising a DPSS pump laser 31, a photonic crystal fibre (PCF) 35 and acousto-optic modulator (AOM) gating means 33. The pump pulses are coupled through lenses 32 to the AOM 33, synchronised to the pump laser 31 and operable to gate the pump pulses to a reduced repetition rate Rr = Rf/N, where Rf is the pump laser fundamental frequency. The pulses from the AOM 33 are injected via optics 34 into the PCF 35. Propagation through the PCF 35 causes the pulses to broaden spectrally to produce supercontinuum pulses. An optical pulse source comprising the optical pulse source 30 and an acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) operable to convert supercontinuum pulses into wavelength variable output pulses is also provided. A method of scaling the energy of the optical supercontinuum pulses is also provided.

Abstract: Provided are a Raman signal measuring method and apparatus (1000) which use a difference in a time scale between Raman scattered light and fluorescence. Thus, after exciting light is incident upon a target object, light scattered from the target object may be detected before the target object generates fluorescence in response to the exciting light. As a result, a Raman signal in which background fluorescence is reduced may be obtained.

Abstract: A method and a system for detecting the presence of propellant gas in a gaseous sample exploit laser light especially in the 3.30-3.5 μm range. The propellant can be propane, n-butane, i-butane, dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, HFA 134a, HFA 227, or any other propellant exhibiting absorption in the requisite wavelength range. The presence of the application of this method in leak testing of propellant-containing containers such as aerosols or fuel canisters, permits high-speed, high accuracy leak detection capable of replacing existing testing methods.
