Abstract: A refractometer assembly comprises a waveguide plate, a diagnostic light source, a photodetector, and a light absorption plate. The diagnostic light source and the photodetector are optically coupled to the waveguide plate such that at least a portion of light emitted from the diagnostic light source is subject to internal reflection at a diagnostic surface of the waveguide plate prior to reaching the photodetector when an analyte film of unknown refractive index n0 forms an optical interface with the diagnostic surface of the waveguide plate. The light absorption plate is configured to absorb light reaching the light absorption plate without undergoing internal reflection at the diagnostic surface when the analyte film forms an optical interface with the diagnostic surface of the waveguide plate. The refractometer assembly defines an optical system where variations in the unknown refractive index n0 are related to variations in a detection signal generated by the photodetector.

Abstract: A spectrophotometer optics system is provided. The spectrophotometer optics system includes an optical sensing array and an optical waveguide including an input side and an output side. The input side of the optical waveguide receives input light and the optical sensing array is located at the output side of optical waveguide. The optical waveguide is configured to carry light to be analyzed by total internal reflection to the output side of the optical waveguide and to direct the light to be analyzed toward the optical sensing array. The spectrophotometer optics system includes an optical dispersive element configured to separate the light to be analyzed into separate wavelength components, and the optical dispersive element is supported by the optical waveguide.

Abstract: A glass panel is provided having a glass structure with an exterior surface and an interior surface, the glass structure having at least one glass sheet with a thickness ranging from about 0.5 mm to about 2.0 mm and a backing frame positioned adjacent the glass structure and situated along the perimeter of the interior surface of the glass structure. The glass panel further includes a polymer layer positioned on the interior surface and intermediate the glass structure and backing frame to adhere the glass structure together with the backing frame an array of acoustic exciters positioned on the glass structure, the array of acoustic exciters providing excitation energy to or receiving excitation energy from the glass structure where frequency response of the panel can be a function of the geometry of the glass structure and the position of the acoustic exciters.
