Abstract:
The invention relates to a bimodal optical spectroscopy device for producing spectra of autofluorescence and diffuse reflectance signals coming from a biological sample such as the skin. The following are identified: an excitation unit made up of a plurality of monochrome light-emitting diodes and a wideband pulsed lamp; a flexible optical probe made up of an excitation optical fibre arranged, on the distal side, at the centre of the flexible optical probe in order, consecutively, to carry the excitation signals from each element of the excitation unit to the biological sample, and a plurality of receiving optical fibres arranged, on the distal side, in the form of concentric circles around the excitation optical fibre in order to carry signals coming from the sample; a detection unit including a plurality of spectrometers, each receiving signals from receiving optical fibres arranged on a single circle in the optical probe; a filter wheel for eliminating excitation signals; and a processing unit for controlling the excitation and detection units and for ensuring synchronisation between said units during measurements.
Abstract:
A spectroscopic unit and spectroscopic device according to the present invention are provided with a filter that is provided with a plurality of optical filter elements disposed in order from the entrance side to the exit side of light under measurement and has different transmission wavelengths corresponding to entrance positions along a first direction. A first optical filter element from among the plurality of optical filter elements is tilted with respect to a second optical filter element disposed adjacently to the first optical filter element as a result of the first optical filter element being rotated by a prescribed angle with a third direction that is perpendicular to both the first direction and s second direction from the entrance side to the exit side as the axis of rotation thereof or being rotated by a prescribed angle with the first direction as the axis of rotation thereof.
Abstract:
A probe head for a diagnostic instrument using Raman spectroscopy for tissue measurements, the probe head comprising; a transmission optical fiber, a plurality of collection optical fibers, and a lens to transmit light from the transmission optical fiber to a test site, wherein the ends of the collection optical fibers are beveled or angled. The beveled surfaces can face towards or away from the end of the transmission fiber. Optical elements are used to gather and filter light scattered from tissue, and analysed to identify abnormal tissue.
Abstract:
An optical characteristic measuring apparatus and an optical characteristic measuring method of the invention are an optical characteristic measuring apparatus and method for obtaining a predetermined optical characteristic such as a color value or a total spectral radiation factor of a measurement object. A spectral intensity distribution of predetermined ambient light entering through a measurement opening is measured and stored prior to measurement of the optical characteristic. In measuring the optical characteristic, an optical characteristic in a condition that actually measured ambient light is used as an observation light source is obtained, with use of the stored spectral intensity distribution of ambient light.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses of low-coherence enhanced backscattering spectroscopy are described within this application. One embodiment includes providing incident light comprising at least one spectral component having low coherence, wherein the incident light is to be illuminated on a target object in vivo. An intensity of one or more of at least one spectral component and at least one angular component of backscattering angle of backscattered light is recorded, wherein the backscattered light is to be backscattered from illumination of the incident light on the target object and wherein the backscattering angle is an angle between incident light propagation direction and backscattered light propagation direction. The intensity of the at least one spectral component and the at least one backscattering angle of backscattered light is analyzed, to obtain one or more optical markers of the backscattered light, toward evaluating said properties.
