Abstract: A method for spectral filtering an input optical signal is described. The filtering system uses Brillouin gain inside an interferometer. The interferometer is biased to null signals that propagate without Brillouin gain, but due to asymmetric levels of gain in the interferometer arms the interference null is disturbed for signals of an optical frequency that experience Brillouin gain. The filter thereby preferentially passes signal frequencies that are inside the Brillouin gain bandwidth creating a high extinction ratio filter. The narrow bandwidth of the Brillouin gain effect can allow for spectrally narrow filters such as 30 MHz. The filter can be realized in a stable Sagnac loop configuration even if the pump and signal are combined prior to the Sagnac loop by using a power control device such as an attenuator placed asymmetrically inside the loop. The filter can achieve net gain and can be designed to have a tunable bandwidth.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for performing tear film structure measurement on a tear film of an eye of a subject. A broadband light source (100) is configured to generate broadband light. A spectrometer (250) is configured to measure a spectrum of light of the broadband light that is reflected from at least one spot on the tear film, the spot having a diameter of between 100 microns and 240 microns. A computer processor (28) is coupled to the spectrometer and configured to determine a characteristic of the tear film based upon the spectrum of light measured by the spectrometer. Other applications are also described.

Abstract: A method is performed for estimating the optical spectrum of a light beam. The method includes: projecting the light beam onto distinct spatial areas of a spectrometer, wherein each spatial area receives a different filtered version of the optical spectrum; detecting a characteristic of the projected light beam at each of the distinct spatial areas of the spectrometer; receiving a two-dimensional matrix in which each entry of the matrix provides a relationship between one or more spatial areas and each spectral feature, wherein the two-dimensional matrix is related to the input-output relationship of the spectrometer; and estimating the optical spectrum of the light beam based on an analysis that uses both the detected light beam characteristics and the received two-dimensional matrix.

Abstract: Multiple optical architectures based on photosensitive arrays are disclosed. The optical engines collect five dimensional data from the samples with three dimensional spatial information and temporal and spectral information simultaneously, in parallel from all channels, without optical scanning. The photosensitive arrays and/or last component of illumination system are in contact or close proximity of the sample surface. The application of optical engines to sensitive detection of species of interest in the complex reflecting and scattering matrix with the high concentration of interfering species is described. The optical engines are applicable to noninvasive, mobile monitoring of various species of interest in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract: A method of interrogating an absorbing sample includes using a mode-locked laser mode-locked in both a clock-wise (CW) and a counter-clock wise (CCW) direction to generate first and second optical pulses having different repetition rates. One of the first and second optical pulses is directed in a CW direction and the other of the first and second optical pulses is directed in the CCW direction. The first optical pulses are transmitted through the absorbing sample to probe the absorbing sample while the second optical pulses are transmitted through the absorbing sample to act as a local oscillator. An interference pattern produced by interference between the first and second optical pulses is detected after traversing the absorbing sample.

Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.

Abstract: Dual laser frequency combs can rapidly measure high resolution linear absorption spectra. However, one-dimensional linear techniques cannot distinguish the sources of resonances in a mixture of different analytes, nor separate inhomogeneous and homogeneous broadening. These limitations are overcome by acquiring high resolution multi-dimensional non-linear coherent spectra with frequency combs.

Abstract: A device analyzes an anesthesia ventilation gas with an infrared radiation source and includes a gas cuvette, a Fabry-Perot interferometer with a band pass filter function, adjustable with respect to a central transmission wavelength as a function of a control signal, a detector providing a measured signal and a computing and control unit providing the control signal and detecting the measured signal. The computing and control unit is configured to actuate the Fabry-Perot interferometer in a first operating mode by the control signal such that the central transmission wavelength scans a predefined wavelength range, to detect a presence in the ventilation gas sample potential types of anesthetic gases based on the measured signal. In a second operating mode, the control unit controls the central transmission wavelength within a subrange of the predefined wavelength range and determines a plurality of concentration values at consecutive times for detected types of anesthetic gases.

Abstract: Compensating for frequency drift of a reference energy source in an FT interferometer based spectrometer instrument may include obtaining data representing a reference interferogram collected in response to a trigger signal having been generated in dependence on the emission frequency of the reference energy source, and subsequently obtaining data representing a target interferogram recorded by the FT interferometer in response to a trigger signal also having been generated in dependence on the emission frequency of the reference energy source in the same manner. The method may further include comparing the obtained data to determine a phase shift between the interferograms in a window in at least one region away from center-burst, and generating a mathematical transform dependent on the determined shift to be subsequently applied to generate data representing a frequency stabilized interferogram of an unknown sample recorded by the FT interferometer.
