摘要: This invention is directed to methods of unambiguously measuring the absolute retardance, δA of an optical sample. A method for measuring absolute retardance of an optical sample includes directing light comprising a plurality of wavelengths through a polarization state generator source, the optical sample, and a polarization state analyzer, detecting, at an imaging device, retardance measurement light emanating from the optical sample after also passing through the polarization state analyzer at the plurality of wavelengths, determining a measurement retardance associated with the detected retardance measurement light at each of the wavelengths, and determining an absolute retardance associated with the optical sample based on the measurement retardances determined at each of the wavelengths.

摘要: A method of controlling a light beam in an optical system includes a light source that directs a collimated light beam along a path, through a sample, and toward the active area of a stationary detector. The method includes the step selectively moving a lens into the path of the light beam for spreading the beam in instances where the path of the beam is altered by the sample between the source and the stationary detector The detector, therefore, is held stationary. Adjustment means are provided for increasing the intensity characteristic of the light that reaches the detector to account for a decrease in intensity that occurs when the lens is in the path of the light beam to spread the beam.

摘要: The amount of gain applied to a photodetector such as a photomultiplier tube (PMT) is limited to an amount that does not cause the applied PMT bias voltage to overdrive, hence damage, the PMT. Techniques for limiting the PMT gain are implemented in a way that does not interfere with the precision with which the PMT gain may be established (by selection of a reference level) below that limited level.

摘要: An optical assembly comprising an optical element and a transducer is suspended within an enclosure so that the optical assembly is free to vibrate within the enclosure. In one embodiment, the mechanisms for suspending the assembly do away with any elastomeric material that would cause outgassing in applications where the photoelastic modulator is used in a high vacuum environment. The suspension system also increases the efficiency of the system.

摘要: An electronic control system that accurately maintains oscillation of an optical assembly at resonance. In the preferred embodiment, a signal control circuit delivers an input signal to an optical assembly. A resonance detector detects the difference in phase between the input signal and a feedback signal from the optical assembly. The phase difference is used to determine whether the optical assembly is at resonance. The signal control circuit is responsive to the resonance detector and modifies the frequency of the input signal to oscillate the optical assembly at its resonant frequency. The electronic control system can also maintain multiple optical assemblies at resonance.

摘要: Example embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for measuring polarimetric parameters using spectroscopy are disclosed herein. Particular embodiments concern circular dichroism (CD) spectrometers that use a vertically aligned beam. In such embodiments, the solution being analyzed may have a top surface that forms a convex or concave meniscus, creating a surface through which the measuring beam passes that may refract the beam in undesirable ways. Accordingly, particular embodiments of the disclosed technology include one or more meniscus-compensating (meniscus-effect-reducing) components or subsystems. These components and/or subsystems can be used alone or in combination with one another to reduce the undesirable refractive effects caused by the meniscus at the solution's surface, thereby improving the resulting quality of the spectroscopy measurement and potentially improving the speed with which CD spectroscopy can be performed.

摘要: This disclosure is generally directed to systems for imaging polarization properties of optical-material samples. As one example, there is provided a system for precise, simultaneous imaging of both the in-plane and out-of-plane birefringence properties of sample material over a wide range of incidence angles. An example spatially resolved imaging approach described herein is amenable to determination of a wide range of polarimetric properties, in addition to the in-plane and out-of-plane birefringence measure discussed as a preferred embodiment.

摘要: A birefringence measurement system includes a lens mounted for selective movement into and out of use in the optical setup so that a wide range of sample types can be handled by the system without reconfiguring the primary components of the optical setup of the system (moving the detector, changing the light source power, etc.) in a manner that would sacrifice the cost effectiveness, efficiency, mechanical reliability and repeatability of measurements for such systems.
