    摘要: The present invention provides an autonomous calibration of a multivariate based spectroscopic system that is preferably implemented as a multivariate based spectrometer. The spectroscopic system is based on a multivariate optical element that provides a spectral weighting of an incident optical signal. Spectral weighting is performed on the basis of spatial separation of spectral components and subsequent spatial filtering by means of a spatial light modulator. Calibration of the spectroscopic system is based on a dedicated calibration segment of the spatial light modulator, whose position corresponds to a characteristic calibration or reference wavelength of the incident optical signal. Preferably, the calibration or reference wavelength is given by the wavelength of the excitation radiation generated by the optical source that serves to induce scattering processes in a volume of interest.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an analysis apparatus, in particular a spectroscopic analysis apparatus, for analyzing an object, such as blood of a patient, and a corresponding analysis method. To aim the confocal detection volume inside a blood vessel orthogonal polarized spectral imaging (OPSI) is used to locate blood capillaries in the skin. An imaging system (img) with slightly shifted imaging planes (i1, i2) for OPS imaging of blood vessels is proposed to provide auto-focusing. The confocal Raman detection plane (dp) is located in between these two imaging planes (i1, i2). Based on measured amount of defocus for the imaging planes (i1, i2), the focusing of the imaging system (img), the excitation system (exs) for exciting the target region and the detection plane (dp) is located inside the blood vessel (V). Thus, continuous auto-focusing with high accuracy can be achieved. The invention relates also to an optical tracking system for continuously tracking a point of a moving object (obj).

    摘要: The present invention provides an optical analysis system for determining an amplitude of a principal component of an optical signal. The principal component is indicative of the concentration of a particular compound or various compounds of a substance that is subject to spectroscopic analysis. The optical signal is subject to wavelength selective weighting and wavelength selective spatial separation specified by a weighting function. The optical signal is preferably separated into two parts that corresponding to a positive and negative spectral band of the weighting function, respectively. The separation provides separate detection of the separated parts of the optical signal without significant loss of intensity, thereby providing an improved signal to noise ratio of the determined principal component. Separation and weighting of the optical signal is realized by two multivariate optical elements.
