Abstract: Spectrally analyzing an unknown sample (10A) includes (i) providing a spatially homogeneous region (10B) of the unknown sample (10A); (ii) directing a plurality of interrogation beams (16) at the spatially homogeneous region (10B) with a laser source (14), (iii) acquiring a separate output image (245) while the unknown sample (10A) is illuminated by each of the interrogation beams (16) with an image sensor (26A); and (iv) analyzing less than fifty output images (245) to analyze whether a characteristic is present in the unknown sample (10A) with a control system (28) that includes a processor. Each of the interrogation beams (16) is nominally monochromatic and has a different interrogation wavelength that is in the mid-infrared spectral range.

Abstract: An analysis assembly (12) for analyzing one or more physiological parameters of a person (10) comprises a sensor assembly (14) and an analyzer (16). The sensor assembly (14) includes a sampler (218) that collects a sample (220) from the person (10); and a signal generating apparatus (222) that directs a mid-infrared light beam (232) toward the sample (220) and performs spectroscopy on the sample (220) to generate a signal (215) that is based at least in part on the one or more physiological parameters of the person (10). The sampler (218) and the signal generating apparatus (222) can be positioned less than approximately one meter from the person (10) while the sample (220) is being collected and spectroscopically scanned to generate the signal (215). The analyzer (16) receives and analyzes the signal (215) to determine the presence of the one or more physiological parameters in the sample (220).

Abstract: An imaging microscope (12) for generating an image of a sample (10) comprises a beam source (14) that emits a temporally coherent illumination beam (20), the illumination beam (20) including a plurality of rays that are directed at the sample (10); an image sensor (18) that converts an optical image into an array of electronic signals; and an imaging lens assembly (16) that receives rays from the beam source (14) that are transmitted through the sample (10) and forms an image on the image sensor (18). The imaging lens assembly (16) can further receive rays from the beam source (14) that are reflected off of the sample (10) and form a second image on the image sensor (18). The imaging lens assembly (16) receives the rays from the sample (10) and forms the image on the image sensor (18) without splitting and recombining the rays.

Abstract: A spectral imaging device (12) includes an image sensor (28), a tunable light source (14), an optical assembly (17), and a control system (30). The optical assembly (17) includes a first refractive element (24A) and a second refractive element (24B) that are spaced apart from one another by a first separation distance. The refractive elements (24A) (24B) have an element optical thickness and a Fourier space component of the optical frequency dependent transmittance function. Further, the element optical thickness of each refractive element (24A) (24B) and the first separation distance are set such that the Fourier space components of the optical frequency dependent transmittance function of each refractive element (24A) (24B) fall outside a Fourier space measurement passband.

Abstract: An assembly (14) for analyzing a sample (15) includes a detector assembly (18); a tunable laser assembly (10); and (iii) a laser controller (10F). The detector assembly (18) has a linear response range (232) with an upper bound (232A) and a lower bound (232B). The tunable laser assembly (10) is tunable over a tunable range, and includes a gain medium (10B) that generates an illumination beam (12) that is directed at the detector assembly (18). The laser controller (10F) dynamically adjusts a laser drive to the gain medium (10B) so that the illumination beam (12) has a substantially constant optical power at the detector assembly (18) while the tunable laser assembly (10) is tuned over at least a portion of the tunable range.
