    Abstract: A compact spectrometer is disclosed that is suitable for use in mobile devices such as cellular telephones. In preferred embodiments, the spectrometer comprises a filter, at least one Fourier transform focusing element, a micro-lens array, and a detector, but does not use any dispersive elements. Methods for using the spectrometer as an end-user device for performing on-site determinations of food quality, in particular, by comparison with an updatable database accessible by all users of the device, are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a compact wideband vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and soft X-ray grazing incidence spectrometer based on a plane amplitude diffraction grating. The spectrometer enables simultaneous detection of a VUV spectrum in a positive first order of diffraction and a negative first order of diffraction. The technical result of the invention is that of recording a spectrum in a wide spectral range (3-200 nm) with a moderate spectral resolution (λ/δλ˜15-30) and with a significantly higher spectral resolution (λ/δλ˜100-200) in a narrow soft X-ray or extreme ultraviolet range with the possibility of measuring the absolute radiation output in these regions of the spectrum.

    Abstract: The Intrinsic Hyper-Spectral Flow Cytometer (IHSFC) and its associated methodology, improves current flow cytometry by eliminating the need of associated hardware-based elements currently used for spectral data detection. The (IHSFC), rather than using narrow band lasers to excite or interrogate the analytes, the flow stream is excited by a wide wavelength range beam. The raw data generated by the (IHSFC) are as follows; forward light scatter, right angle light scatter, coherent spectral data and non-coherent spectral data. The intrinsic fluorescent spectral components are extracted from the coherent and non-coherent spectral data.

    Abstract: A spectral filter (10) is provided with a long-pass filter (12) and a short-pass filter (13). The long-pass filter (12) has a film thickness gradient GL wherein film thickness increases monotonically in a single direction, and transmits light of a wavelength region longer than a cut-off wavelength WL. The short-pass filter (13) has a film thickness gradient GS wherein film thickness increases monotonically in a single direction, and transmits light of a wavelength region shorter than a cut-off wavelength WS. The long-pass filter (12) and the short-pass filter (13) are overlapped such that the single directions match each other. At the positions in the single directions, a transmittance peak is formed by the cut-off wavelength WL being shorter than the cut-off wavelength WS. The film thickness gradient GL is greater than the film thickness gradient GS.
