Abstract:
A light guide member (220) useable for an object detection apparatus (101) is devised. The object detection apparatus (101) includes a light source unit (210), and a detection unit (206) for detecting an object adhered on a surface of a light translucent member configuring a vehicle based on change of light quantity of reflection light received from the light translucent member when light exiting from the light source unit (210) is reflected from the light translucent member having a face having curvature. The light guide member (220) includes a detection face (222) where the exiting light exits to a rear face of the light translucent member and the reflection light reflected from the light translucent member enters, the detection face (222) including a detection area where a part of the reflection light to enter the detection unit (206) passes through, and a non-detection area where remaining part of the reflection light not to enter the detection unit (206) passes through; a first intervening member (300) disposed on the detection face (222), a part or entire of the detection area attachable to a rear face of the light translucent member via the first intervening member (300); and a second intervening member (301), disposed on the detection face (222), a part or entire of the non-detection area attachable to the rear face of the light translucent member via the second intervening member (301). The first intervening member (300) has flexibility greater than flexibility of the second intervening member (301).
Abstract:
Optical computing devices are disclosed. One optical computing device includes an electromagnetic radiation source that emits electromagnetic radiation into an optical train to optically interact with a sample and at least one integrated computational element, the sample being configured to generate optically interacted radiation. A sampling window is arranged adjacent the sample and configured to allow transmission of the electromagnetic radiation therethrough and has one or more surfaces that generate one or more stray signals. A first focal lens is arranged to receive the optically interacted radiation and the one or more stray signals and generate a primary focal point from the optically interacted radiation. A structural element defines a spatial aperture aligned with the primary focal point such that the optically interacted radiation is able to pass therethrough while transmission of the one or more stray signals is substantially blocked by the structural element.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to the use of a light absorbing wall material (4) to eliminate stray light paths in light-guiding structures, such as those used for HPLC absorbance detection. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of carbon-doped Teflon ® AF, or "black Teflon ® AF", for all or part of the walls of a light-guiding flowcell (2) adapted for use in HPLC absorbance detection.
Abstract:
In order to reduce light leak influencing the detection capability of a fluorescence imaging apparatus, an interference filter and an absorption filter on an emission-side filter section are arranged serially in the traveling direction of the fluorescence. The interference filter and the absorption filter that are in use for such an arrangement block the waveband light equivalent to the excitation light irradiated onto a sample while fully transmitting the waveband light equivalent to the fluorescence.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical device for suppressing the stray light from a sample that is illuminated and detected by an objective. A blocking or reflecting-out means is provided in one part of the beam path in order to create an area of shade for the stray light in the image plane.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a gas sensor (1) comprising an electromagnetic radiation source (55), a detector (57) which is sensitive to radiation from the source (57) and a waveguide (14,16,18) which comprises at least a part of an optical path from the source (55) to the detector (57) through a gas sample, the waveguide (14,16,18) comprising a first waveguide portion (14) which extends from the radiation source (55) and a reflector (16) which is arranged to change the direction of and laterally displace radiation conducted from the source (55) through the first waveguide portion (14) into a second waveguide portion (18) which is separate to the first waveguide portion (14) and which conducts received radiation towards the detector (57). The gas sensor (1) can be formed as a layered structure. A convoluted passage (50a,50b) allows gas access to the optical path.
