Abstract: A shutter assembly for a trace element detector includes a shutter wheel having at least one window, and a drive mechanism coupled to the shutter wheel, wherein the drive mechanism rotates the shutter wheel to move the window between at least an outlet port of the shutter assembly and a cleaning station of the shutter assembly. The cleaning station includes at least one cleaning jet positioned to apply a cleaning solution to the window when the window is located at the cleaning station. In the preferred embodiment, the shutter assembly further includes a drying station, and the drive mechanism rotates the shutter wheel to move the window to the drying station after the window has passed the cleaning station. The drying station includes at least one gas jet positioned to apply a gas stream to the window when the window is located at the drying station. A control mechanism controls the application of the cleaning fluid to the cleaning jet and the application of the gas stream to the gas jet, as either continuous flows or intermittent pulses. The cleaning station and the drying station are preferably isolated by the use of a base plate including a separating wall. The base plate is also provided with drain ports to allow excess cleaning solution to drain from the shutter assembly.

Abstract: A multi-slit type spectrometer includes a light diffracter which diffracts an incident light according to wavelengths; an optical shutter array member including a plurality of optical shutter elements arranged in correspondence with wavelength bands diffracted by the light diffracter, operable to transmit an incident ray according to an applied voltage, and made of PLZT. A zone of a given number of adjacent optical shutter elements is applied with a voltage corresponding to the wavelength bands of the rays incident upon the zone of adjacent optical shutter elements at a specified timing so that the rays respectively pass through or are reflected at the optical shutter elements. A signal processor receives the ray which has passed through or has been reflected at each optical shutter element and outputs an electrical signal according to the intensity of the received ray. A calculator calculates the intensity of the incident ray for each wavelength band in accordance with the electrical signal output from the signal processor and the specified applying timing.

Abstract: A shutter mechanism having a slide element coupled to a support base by a plurality of roller bearings journaled between opposing pairs of guide rods is disclosed. The slide element and support base have corresponding beam apertures in alignment when the shutter is in its open position. Angularly mounted on the slide, adjacent to the slide's beam aperture, is a UV reflective mirror. When the shutter is commended to close, an actuator forces the slide and support base apertures out of alignment, while simultaneously positioning the UV reflective mirror into the position previously occupied by the slide's aperture. A laser beam, previously being transmitted through the aligned apertures, will be reflected by the mirror to a beam stop as a diagnostic instrument mounted on the support base.

Abstract: A random access monochromator is disclosed. This device has no mechanical parts and eliminates the need to scan sequentially the wavelengths of light contained in a light spectrum to select a desired wavelength or wavelengths from the spectrum. The device has high speed switching means, permits one to select multiple wavelengths and bandwidths at the same time, and has the ability to correct for non-linearity in prisms caused by their nonlinear or second order dispersion of light.

Abstract: A bistable electrostatic light valve display in which a movable electrode is disposed opposite a fixed electrode and is biased to move in a preferred direction upon application of an electric field across the electrodes to produce a light valve or light shutter. In one embodiment, the movable electrode is restrained at one end and coils about the fixed end in a preferential roll direction. The bias is achieved by inducing anisotropic stress or anisotropic stiffness. In another embodiment, the moveable electrode is restrained at both ends and is biased upwardly by anisotropic stress or stiffening.

Abstract: To provide sufficient sensitivity, spectral resolution and speed of measurement for field environmental measurements in a portable spectroradiometer, a silicon photodiode receives light: (1) having a bandwidth in the range of between 2 and 15 nm (nanometers) from a pivotable concave holographic diffraction grating within the wavelength range of between 250 and 1150 nm at a scanning rate in the range of 20 to 100 nm per second; (2) having stray light of high intensity and undesired frequencies and the shorter wavelength harmonics of the selected frequency range blocked by filters; and (3) having flux of at least 10 microwatts per square meter of diffuser plate for each nanometer of bandwidth. Automatic electrical zeroing is obtained by blocking all light once at the beginning of each scan, obtaining an electrical drift-related signal and using the drift signal to adjust the measured signal during the scan. Several different sensing interfaces can be used, including a quartz, light fiber probe having at least a 50% packing density and a cone angle of at least 24 degrees. The data and the programming storage is at least 30K bytes but the instrument uses no more than watts of power when the instrument is not scanning.

Abstract: Apparatus for inserting and removing several filters from an optical path and for determining at all times the instantaneous positional relationship of each filter with respect to the optical path includes a set of filters mounted on a carrier which is attached to a resonant piezoelectric system, and further includes reference tracks also located on the carrier and extending in the direction of the oscillatory motion and including a sequence of binary indicia progressing in the direction of the oscillatory motion. The reference tracks are read optically to produce a series of binary electrical signals which are processed to yield the instantaneous position of the carrier and filters with respect to a fixed optical path.
