    Abstract: The present subject matter is direct to methodologies for calibrating data obtained from an optical analysis system. An initial calibration matrix of sampled analyte concentrations is modified using mean-centering techniques and selection of low and high analyte concentration spectra to produce a two-point calibration. A modified calibration matrix is produced by generating a non-linear calibration matrix by multiplying the initial calibration matrix by the two-point calibration. In an alternate embodiment, an initial multivariate optical element design is modified by iteratively adjusting the design based on standard error of calibration determination based on non-linerly fitted functions.

    Abstract: The present invention has been accomplished to provide an atomic absorption spectrophotometer capable of obtaining measurement data always in the state where the lowest detection limit performance is optimized, without depending on the frequency of the power supply. In a control program which runs on the microcomputer chip 42 mounted on the atomic absorption spectrophotometer 110, a plurality of lighting periods of the light sources 11 and 12 and extraction periods of the sampling data are memorized, whose lowest detection limit performance are optimized for the frequencies (50 Hz and 60 Hz) of the AC power source for driving the AC motor 22. In using the apparatus, by the control program, the frequency of the power source used in this apparatus is identified, the lighting period and sampling data extraction period corresponding to the identified frequency and the measurement mode that a user of the apparatus has previously set are selected from among a plurality of memorized values, and the appropriate lighting period is set to the hardware (PLD 43). Accordingly, without depending on the frequency, it is possible to obtain measurement data always in the state where the lowest detection limit performance is optimized.

    Abstract: A spectroscopy system is provided which is optimized for operation in the VUV region and capable of performing well in the DUV-NIR region. Additionally, the system incorporates an optical module which presents selectable sources and detectors optimized for use in the VUV and DUV-NIR. As well, the optical module provides common delivery and collection optics to enable measurements in both spectral regions to be collected using similar spot properties. The module also provides a means of quickly referencing measured data so as to ensure that highly repeatable results are achieved. The module further provides a controlled environment between the VUV source, sample chamber and VUV detector which acts to limit in a repeatable manner the absorption of VUV photons. The use of broad band data sets which encompass VUV wavelengths, in addition to the DUV-NIR wavelengths enables a greater variety of materials to be meaningfully characterized. Array based detection instrumentation may be exploited to permit the simultaneous collection of larger wavelength regions.

    Abstract: A technique is provided for generating and subsequently monitoring the controlled environment(s) within an optical metrology instrument in such a manner as to minimize absorbing species within the light path of the metrology instrument and to minimize the build-up of contaminants on the surfaces of optical elements that may result in performance degradation. Both evacuation and backfill techniques may be utilized together along with a monitoring technique to determine if the environmental is suitable for measurements or if the environment should be regenerated. The optical metrology instrument may be an instrument which operates at wavelengths that include vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) wavelengths.
