Abstract:
THIS IS AN IMPROVED ASYMMETRIC MONOCHROMATOR SYSTEM, FEATURING COMA CANCELLATION, EXCEPTIONAL IMAGE QUALITY, AND INVARIANCE WITH WAVELENGTH OF SLIT-IMAGE CURVATURE. FIRST AND SECOND PARABOLOIDAL MIRRORS HAVING NONCOINCIDENT AXES ARE UTILIZED, THE REFLECTIONS OF THE BEAM AT THE FIRST AND SECOND MIRRORS ARE MUTUALLY ASYMMETRIC.
Abstract:
Selected apertures or slits of a set or array are located at the intermediate slit position of an asymmetrical zero dispersion monochromator for use in correlation spectroscopy.
Abstract:
Dichroism measurement apparatus includes interferometer means for processing linearly polarized source radiation to provide a beam characterized, for each wavelength, by ellipticity that alternates between left and right circular polarization and between which the beam polarization becomes linear in one direction as the ellipticity alternates from left to right circular polarization, and linear in the orthogonal direction as the ellipticity alternates from right to left circular polarization, the characteristic frequency Nu a of such alternation varying as a function of the wavelength. The interferometer means comprises relatively fixed and movable prisms, both having axes at 45* to the linear polarization direction, and actuating means for effecting such relative movement of said prisms to control the frequencies Nu a.
Abstract:
The disclosure concerns the provision of means for reducing problems associated with lamp intensity fluctuation and random noise in circular-dichroism measurement instrumentation.
