Abstract: Encoded spatio-spectral information processing is performed using a system having a radiation source, wavelength dispersion device and two-dimensional switching array, such as digital micro-mirror array (DMA). In one aspect, spectral components from a sample are dispersed in space and modulated separately by the switching array, each element of which may operate according to a predetermined encoding pattern. The encoded spectral components can then be detected and analyzed. In a different aspect, the switching array can be used to provide a controllable radiation source for illuminating a sample with radiation patterns that have predetermined characteristics and separately encoded components. Various applications are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention comprises an apparatus and method for simple fluorescence spectrometry in a down hole environment. The apparatus and method utilization of two UV light bulbs and an optically clear UV coupler and a fluid containment system. The optically clear UV coupler and fluid containment system are made of sapphire. The apparatus is attached in a manner that enables light transmitted from a light source on the far side of the fluid containment system to pass through a pathway in a plate holding the UV bulbs. UV light illuminates the fluid, which in turn fluoresces light. The fluoresced light is transmitted back towards the UV bulb mount and through the pathway towards an optical spectrum analyzer.

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 null/4 plate 26 is disposed between the mirror 22 and the diffraction grating 20. The mirror reflects the separated light back through the null/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 (null1-nullN) 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: A novel variation of Michelson's interferometer uses tilt- and shear-compensation optics to allow various mirror motions to produce variation of path difference. The tilt-compensation mechanism consists of two complementary reflections from a single plane mirror and, in some cases, the beamsplitter, to produce a beam having a constant angle of propagation, typically the same as the input beam. Using a retroreflector to invert the image of a single plane mirror or a sequence of plane mirrors before the second reflections produces complementary reflections. A particularly efficient embodiment of the present invention uses one or more balanced disk-shaped mirrors to effect very rapid variation of path difference by nutation or precession. Other advantages of tilt-compensation include photometric stability. This interferometer has applications in spectrometry, spectral imaging and metrology.

Abstract: A tunable filter includes a polarizer, a polarization rotator, a diffraction grating and a diffraction grating adjustor. The polarizer polarizes a light beam and splits the light beam into first and second light beams. The polarization rotator rotates a plane of polarization of the first light beam at 90null to generate a rotated light beam. The diffraction grating receives the rotated light beam and the second light beam. The diffraction grating adjustor adjusts the diffraction grating to change incident angles of the rotated light beam and second light beam.

Abstract: A monochromator according to the present invention has an arm 1 rotatably mounted on a rotation shaft 3, and a diffraction grating 6 is fixed to the arm 1. The arm 1 is rotated by a linear motor 9 including a moving part 91 fixed to the arm 1 and a stator part 92 fixed to a base 2. The linear motor 9 is a voice-coil linear motor constructed to allow the arm 1 to rotate reciprocatively around the rotation shaft 3 within a preset angular range. The absolute rotational position of the arm 1 is detected by a rotary encoder 7 including a crossbar 71 fixed to the arm 1 and a encoder block 72 fixed to the base 2. Based on the output signal of the rotary encoder 7, the linear motor 9 is controlled so that the moving part 92 rotates at a fixed angular speed around the rotation axis 3. Thus, the wavelength scanning is carried out at high speed, and sampling of monochromatic light having desired wavelengths is performed accurately.

Abstract: In a spectroscopic instrument having a spherical grating to disperse incident light into a spectrum, the grating is oscillated on axis to scan the light passing through an exit slit through the spectrum or a portion of the spectrum. The axis of rotation of the grating is shifted to be displaced from tangent to the center of the spherical grating so that the light passing through the exit slit is substantially focused throughout the spectrum scanned by the instrument. The grating is mounted in the holder to shift the center of gravity of the grating and the holder to be on the axis on which the grating is pivoted.
