Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) which is used to test at least one sample by means of optical luminescence detection. The inventive device comprises one site (3) for receiving the sample, said site being disposed such that the sample can receive a luminescence excitation and emit a luminescence light in an optical guide plane (2) of the device. The device also comprises collection means (7) which are optically connected to the optical guide plane (2) in order to collect the luminescence light. In addition, the device comprises means of sending part of the luminescence light, which is emitted in the optical guide plane but not collected directly by the collection means, towards said collection means (4).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a micromonochromator formed on a substrate and comprising diffraction means (6) associated with an input including at least an input point and with an output including at least an output point, mobile means for guiding light (2-20, 4-26) associated with said input or said output or to both, and means (23) for recuperating the light supplied by said output. It is constructed according to an integrated optics technique. The mobile means comprise at least a flexible girder integrated in the substrate and provided with at least a light guide, said flexible girder being capable of scanning the input and/or output continuously. The invention is useful for multiplexing/demultiplexing wavelength and in spectrometry.
