Abstract:
A sensing apparatus consisting of more than one diode laser having select lasing frequencies, a multiplexer optically coupled to the outputs of the diode lasers with the multiplexer being further optically coupled to a pitch side optical fiber. Multiplexed laser light is transmitted through the pitch side optical fiber to a pitch optic operatively associated with a process chamber which may be a combustion chamber or the boiler of a coal or gas fired power plant. The pitch optic is oriented to project multiplexed laser output through the process chamber. Also operatively oriented with the process chamber is a catch optic in optical communication with the pitch optic to receive the multiplexed laser output projected through the process chamber. The catch optic is optically coupled to an optical fiber which transmits the multiplexed laser output to a demultiplexer. The demultiplexer demultiplexes the laser light and optically couples the select lasing frequencies of light to a detector with the detector being sensitive to one of the select lasing frequencies.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fine particle analyzer capable of obtaining stable measurement performance by controlling the position deviation of an irradiation spot on a sample flow caused by minute deviation of relative positions of a light source, a lens, etc. which constitute a light irradiation path so as to irradiate fine particles with light with high accuracy.SOLUTION: A fine particle analyzer comprises: a light source 11; a first condenser lens 141 for condensing the light from the light source 11 on a first end 15a of a multimode optical fiber 15; a second condenser lens 142 for condensing the light emitted from a second end 15b of the multimode optical fiber 15 on a fine particle P; and a detector 23 for detecting the light generated from the fine particle P by the irradiation of the light.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a variation in quantity of a light beam passing through a diaphragm in a Rowland type diffraction spectral colorimetric device while a printed image corresponding to a detection surface moves upward and downward, thereby improving detection precision of the spectral colorimetric device. SOLUTION: A spectral colorimetric device for detecting a color of an image of a specimen illuminated has: a diaphragm; a spectral detection optical system for spectrally detecting a beam diffused in the specimen and having passed through the stop; and a guiding optical system for guiding, toward the diaphragm, the beam diffused in the specimen. In a first section that is a section which is parallel to an optical axis of the guiding optical system, condensing positions of the light beam condensed by the guiding optical system in a direction of the optical axis, are varied depending on a position in a direction orthogonal to the first section, and the diaphragm is disposed between condensing positions closest to and farthest from the guiding optical system, out of condensing positions, in the first section, of the beam condensed by the guiding optical system, in a direction of the optical axis of the guiding optical system.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spectral colorimetric apparatus that is particularly thinned and miniaturized in the direction perpendicular to a subject, and allows accurate spectrometry. SOLUTION: The spectral colorimetric apparatus for detecting a color of an image of the illuminated subject, includes: an illumination optical system illuminating the subject on a detection surface; a spectral optical system for detecting a spectral intensity distribution of the beam diffused by the subject and spectrally separated by a spectral element with a light receiving element array; and a guiding optical system for guiding a beam diffused by the subject to the spectral optical system. The detection surface is parallel to a spectral plane that is defined to include a principal ray of a beam entering the spectral optical system and a principal ray of a beam spectrally separated by the spectral element. The principal ray of the beam enters the spectral optical system within the spectral plane obliquely to a line joining a center of the light receiving element array with a surface vertex of the spectral element; and a light receiving surface of the light receiving element array is orthogonal to the spectral plane.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spectroscope capable of reducing locational deviations which occur in a grating even in the case that distortion has occurred in a package. SOLUTION: The spectroscope 1 disperses light L1 incident into the package 2 by a spectroscopic part 3, reflects it, detects reflected light L2 by a photo-detection element 4, and is provided with the package 2 housing the photo-detection element 4. The package 2 has a hemispheric recession part 10, and a region 12 in which a plurality of grating grooves 14 are arranged along a prescribed direction and a region 13 surrounding the region 12 are formed in the bottom surface of the recession part 10. The region 12 and the region 13 are continuous to each other and formed in the same curved surface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
An instrument including a scannable mirror employs multimode optical fibers and an optical coupler. Modal dispersion, e.g., from the multimode optical fiber, is reduced by a method employing deconvolution. The scannable mirror may employ a mirror movable in an optical waveguide or an optical fiber wound on an expandable core.
