Abstract: An optical channel monitor is provided that sequentially or selectively filters an optical channel(s) 11 of light from a (WDM) optical input signal 12 and senses predetermined parameters of the each filtered optical signal (e.g., channel power, channel presence, signal-noise-ratio). The OCM 10 is a free-space optical device that includes a collimator assembly 15, a diffraction grating 20 and a mirror 22. A launch pigtail emits into free space the input signal through the collimator assembly 15 and onto the diffraction grating 20, which separates spatially each of the optical channels 11 of the collimated light, and reflects the separated channels of light onto the mirror 22. A λ/4 plate 26 is disposed between the mirror 22 and the diffraction grating 20. The mirror reflects the separated light back through the λ/4 plate 26 to the diffraction grating 20, which reflects the channels of light back through the collimating lens 18. The lens 18 focuses each separated channel of light (λ1-λN) at a different focal point in space. One of the optical channels 11 is focused onto a receive pigtail 28, which then propagates to a photodetector 30. A pivoting mechanism 34 pivots the diffraction grating 20 or mirror 22 about a pivot point 36 to sequentially or selectively focus each optical channel 11 to the receive pigtail 28. A position sensor 42 detects the displacement of the diffraction grating 24 or mirror.

Abstract: To achieve a given spectral resolution with reduced detector size and commercially available pixel pitches, the Raman spectrum is shifted across the detector array such as by one of the following methods: 1) tuning the excitation wavelength; 2) rotating the grating; 3) displacing the effective input slit (fiber) and acquiring the spectrum under stepped displacement conditions; and 4) displacement of a lens relative to input fiber to displace effective input slit relative to the detector. A composite spectrum is formed and deconvolution of the entrance aperture image and/or pixel masking is then used.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simple, robust, and versatile high-resolution spectrometer that is suitable for downhole use. The present invention provides a method and apparatus incorporating a spinning, oscillating or stepping optical interference filter to change the angle at which light passes through the filters after passing through a sample under analysis downhole. As each filter is tilted, the color or wavelength of light passed by the filter changes. Black plates are placed between the filters to isolate each filter's photodiode. The spectrometer of the present invention is suitable for use with a wire line formation tester, such as the Baker Atlas Reservation Characterization Instrument to provide supplemental analysis and monitoring of sample clean up. The present invention is also suitable for deployment in a monitoring while drilling environment. The present invention provides a high resolution spectometer which enables quantification of a crude oil's percentage of aromatics, olefins, and saturates to estimate a sample's gas oil ratio (GOR). Gases such as CO2 are also detectable. The percentage of oil-based mud filtrate contamination in a crude oil sample can be estimated with the present invention by using a suitable training set and chemometrics, a neural network, or other type of correlation method.

Abstract: A miniature, flexible, fiber-optic scanning endoscope for nonlinear optical imaging and spectroscopy. The endoscope uses a tubular piezoelectric actuator for activating a cantilevered optical fiber from which pulsed light produced by a laser source exits and is directed to a target region through a micro-lens. The actuator is activated by two modulated signals that achieve two-dimensional beam scanning in a desired scan pattern. A double-clad optical fiber is employed for delivery of the excitation pulsed light and collection of emitted light received from the target region. The pulsed light travels through a core of the double-clad optical fiber, and the emitted light from the target region is directed into the core and inner cladding of the optical fiber and conveyed to a proximal end, for detection and processing. The emitted light can include multiphoton fluorescence, second harmonic generation light, and spectroscopic information, for use in imaging.
