    摘要: A laser system capable of providing light of high intensity is disclosed. This system includes a laser gain medium and three reflectors. A first reflector and a second reflector spaced from the first reflector define a laser cavity that contains the laser gain medium. Light reflected by the first reflector is amplified by the laser gain medium. A third reflector is spaced from the second reflector to define a resonant cavity external to the laser cavity. Light passes from the laser cavity to resonate in the external resonant cavity. Part of the light passes from the external resonant cavity to the laser cavity. A light-screening device, e.g., an aperture, is disposed between the second reflector and the gain medium to screen light reflected from the external cavity such that the light portion of constructive interference is preferentially passed over the light portion of destructive interference. This enables the gain medium to optically lock to the resonant frequency of the external cavity.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for determining the composition and concentration of gases present in a patient's airway by measurement of the spectrum of Raman scattered light from these gases. The efficiency is improved by collecting Raman scattered light generated outside the collection region. The gases present are assumed to be drawn from a predetermined set of gases with known Raman scattering spectra, and the concentrations are determined by solution of a matrix equation Ac=b, where the c vector components are the unknown concentrations and the b vector components are determined from measurements of the Raman scattering intensifies in a plurality of wavelength or wavenumber intervals. The linear system of equations represented by the matrix equation may be overdetermined and may require solution by non-conventional methods, such as singular value decomposition.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing dark signal correction on a photoelectric conversion device. A flow of light to the device is alternately conducted and interrupted. The device generates an intermixed signal while the flow of light is conducted to the device, the intermixed signal including a desired signal intermixed with an unwanted dark signal. The device generates a dark signal alone while the flow of light to the device is interrupted. The dark signal alone is filtered to produce a filtered dark signal. The filtered dark signal is subtracted from the intermixed signal to produce a corrected signal, which is representative of the desired signal.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser power build-up system includes a semi-conductor laser. An optical resonance cavity is defined between at least two reflective elements and has an intracavity light beam along an intracavity beam path. A return light beam, which is a portion of the intracavity light beam, is transmitted through one of the reflective elements and is coincident with but oppositely directed relative to the incident beam. The laser is wholly optically locked to the cavity and the intracavity beam passes substantially without loss within the cavity. In a preferred application, a sample is placed in the cavity and a detector is provided to sense chemicals in the sample by, for example, detecting Raman-scattered light. A wavelength-determining element such as a grating or an etalon is preferably in the incident beam path between the laser and the cavity. The reflective elements can have very low transmission losses, an emission facet of the laser can have very low reflectivity, and feedback into the laser may be strong, for example, above 3%. When the laser is a diode laser, the invention provides for driving the diode laser with a current that is less than its bare-diode threshold current.

    摘要: A method for field calibrating a system adapted for spectrographic analysis of gaseous substances. The method uses an easily available gas, for example ambient air, thereby providing for field calibration of the system without the inconvenience of using a purified noble gas and a pre-measured calibration gas mixture. During calibration, spectrograms from the easily available gas are generated by the system at various number density levels of the gas. Information from the spectrograms is then used in setting an operating parameter of the system.
