Abstract: A method is provided for measuring a response to a stimulus of a plurality of samples spots of a sample using a measuring system having a measurement range to generate an image of the sample in digital space. The method includes, for each sample, while measuring the response, varying the stimulus to include at least one stimulus value where the measured response corresponds to a value in an intermediate portion of the measuring range, and storing a value of the measured response that corresponds to a value in the intermediate portion of the measurement range, and the stimulus value that produced that value of the measured response.

Abstract: To determine the shape characteristics of particles, a light beam (preferably a laser beam) is directed onto a transparent cell containing particles flowing therein and the intensity of the light scattered by the particles is measured with the aid of a photodetector array or a mask containing programmable light valves, comprising one or more concentric rings or parts of rings, at least one of which is provided with one or more isolated segments. The rings and the isolated segments are coupled to an energy meter, the signal amplitudes of which are statistically processed to give amplitude classes. The shape characteristics are determined from a graphical or numerical comparison of the amplitude classes. If at least one ring is subdivided into several segments, calculation of the correlation between the signals from the various ring segments leads to an accurate determination of the average shape characteristics of the particles.

Abstract: An apparatus for imaging into or through scattering materials (17) includes a source (20) for producing a broadband laser reference beam (R) and a Stokes illumination beam (Si) correlated to the reference beam. The Stokes illumination beam is transmitted into the scattering material to obtain a Stokes signal beam (Ss) having a first image carrying component and a first nonimage component. The reference beam and the Stokes signal beam are then separately delayed (Rd, Sd) and polarized (Rp, Sp), after which they are combined to produce a combined beam (C) having a Stokes component and a reference component. A Stimulated Raman amplifier (30) responsive to the combined beam produces an amplified signal beam (A) in which the image carrying component has been amplified by a higher gain factor than the nonimage component.

Abstract: This invention relates to a dispersive holographic spectrometer (12) for analyzing radiation from an infrared source (16). The holographic spectrometer (12) comprises a piezoelectric block (40) having a holographic lens (38) on one face, an array of detectors (36) on another face and a pair of vernier electrodes (32, 34) on opposite faces. Radiation from the source (16) incident upon the holographic lens (38) is dispersed into component wavelengths (44, 46) and directed towards the detector array (36). The holographic lens (38) has a holographic interference pattern recorded on it such that radiation of predetermined wavelength components are dispersed sufficiently enough such that radiation of specific wavelengths falls on different detector elements (48) of the detector array (36). By applying a voltage to the electrodes (32, 38), an electric field is created within the piezoelectric block (40) such that it is either compressed or expanded. This change in the piezoelectric block (40) alters the direction of the radiation from the holographic lens (38) to the detector array (36). Therefore, misalignment of the source (16) with the holographic lens (38) can be compensated for such that piezoelectric adjustment of the block (40) will make the radiation of individual wavelengths fall on the desired detector element (48). Further, radiation from different wavelengths can be directed from one detector element to another. The detector array (36) is self-scanning such that an absorption spectrum can be measured and recorded over a range of frequencies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for examining a sample, the sample being subjected to illumination light and detection light coming from the sample being directed to a detector, and the illumination light being directed through an acousto-optical component with which the sample can be temporarily interrupted from being subjected to illumination light. The method is characterized in that the sample is illuminated by a first illumination light bundle that has a first linear polarization direction and by a second illumination light bundle, the linear polarization direction of which is continuously switched between the first linear polarization direction and a second linear polarization direction that is different from the first linear polarization direction. The illumination light of the first linear polarization direction runs along a first light path and the illumination light of the second linear polarization direction runs along a second light path, and the acousto-optical component unites the light paths.

Abstract: The present invention provides a terahertz-wave detection element having high spatial resolution in which the occurrence of warping and a crack is suitably suppressed. The terahertz-wave detection element capable of detecting a spatial intensity distribution that an incident terahertz wave has includes: an electro-optic crystal layer consisting of an electro-optic crystal in which a refractive index at an incident position of the terahertz wave changes in accordance with incident intensity of the terahertz wave; and a supporting substrate that supports the electro-optic crystal layer. The terahertz-wave detection element is configured to detect a spatial-characteristics distribution which is generated in probe light irradiated in superposition with the terahertz wave and which corresponds to a spatial distribution of a refractive index generated in the electro-optic crystal layer, thereby to detect the spatial intensity distribution of the incident terahertz wave. A joined part between the electro-optic crystal and the supporting substrate is an amorphous layer consisting of an oxide including a constituent element of the electro-optic crystal and a constituent element of the supporting substrate, and also having a thickness equal to or larger than 1 nm and equal to smaller than 50 nm. A thickness of the electro-optic crystal layer is equal to or larger than 1 µm and equal to or smaller than 30 µm.
