    Abstract: A hand held spectrometer is used to illuminate the object and measure the one or more spectra. The spectral data of the object can be used to determine one or more attributes of the object. In many embodiments, the spectrometer is coupled to a database of spectral information that can be used to determine the attributes of the object. The spectrometer system may comprise a hand held communication device coupled to a spectrometer, in which the user can input and receive data related to the measured object with the hand held communication device. The embodiments disclosed herein allow many users to share object data with many people, in order to provide many people with actionable intelligence in response to spectral data.

    Abstract: A handheld spectrometer can be configured with a visible aiming beam to allow the user to determine the measured region of the object. When the visible aiming beam comprises the spectrometer measurement beam, the spectrometer measurement beam comprises sufficient energy for the user to see the measurement beam illuminating the object. When the visible aiming beam comprises a separate beam, the visible aiming beam comprises sufficient energy for the user to see a portion of the aiming beam reflected from the object. The visible aiming beam and measurement beam can be arranged to at least partially overlap on the sample, such that the user has an indication of the area of the sample being measured.

    Abstract: A spectrometer system may be used to determine one or more spectra of an object, and the one or more spectra may be associated with one or more attributes of the object that are relevant to the user. While the spectrometer system can take many forms, in many instances the system comprises a spectrometer and a processing device in communication with the spectrometer and with a remote server, wherein the spectrometer is physically integrated with an apparatus. The apparatus may have a function different than that of the spectrometer, such as a consumer appliance or device.

    Abstract: An improved compact spectrometer system comprising a spatially variable detector and/or a spatially variable light source is disclosed. The spatially variable detector can comprise a first plurality of similar spaced apart detector regions having similar detectable wavelength ranges and a second plurality of different spaced apart detector regions having different detectable wavelength ranges that are different from the similar detectable wavelength ranges. The spatially variable light source can comprise a first plurality of similar spaced apart lighting regions emitting light of similar detectable wavelength ranges and a second plurality of different spaced apart lighting regions emitting light of different detectable wavelength ranges that are different from the similar detectable wavelength ranges. The disparity in measured light intensity along the spatially variable detector and the disparity in emitted light intensity along the spatially variable light source can be determined and adjusted.

    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.
