Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to composite photonic materials used to design structures and detecting material deformation for the purpose of monitoring structural health of physical structures. According to one aspect, a composite structure is provided that includes a base material, an optical diffraction grating and one or more fluorophore materials constructed such that localized perturbations create a measureable change in the structure's diffraction pattern. An inspection device is also provided that is configured to detect perturbations in the composite structure. The inspection device is configured to emit an inspecting radiation into the structure and capture the refracted radiation and measure the change in the diffraction pattern and quantify the perturbation based on the wavelength and the angular information for the diffracted radiation.

Abstract: A scanning luminescence light microscope for spatial high resolution imaging a structure marked with a luminescent marker comprises a light source for luminescence inhibition light and for further light; a light shaping and aligning device; and a detector registering luminescence light emitted by the luminescent marker. The device, by means of two optical gratings and an objective lens, forms two crossing line gratings of the luminescence inhibition light, and two crossing line gratings of the further light so that local intensity minima of an overall intensity distribution of the luminescence inhibition light are delimited in at least two directions, and that local intensity maxima or local intensity minima of an overall intensity distribution of the further light coincide with the local intensity minima of the luminescence inhibition light. Further, the device moves the overall intensity distributions of the further light and the luminescence inhibition light to scan the structure.

Abstract: In an inspection apparatus, a target on the surface is illuminated with illuminating radiation that comprises first and second illuminating components. The illuminating components form one or more periodic illuminating patterns on the surface. A plurality of scattered radiation patterns formed by the illuminating radiation after scattering by the target is captured at a detector for a number of values of a controllable characteristic of at least one of the illuminating components. The captured radiation is then used to reconstruct data describing the target.

Abstract: An optical instrument monitors PCR replication of DNA in a reaction apparatus having a temperature cycled block with vials of reaction ingredients including dye that fluoresces in presence of double-stranded DNA. A beam splitter passes an excitation beam to the vials to fluoresce the dye. An emission beam from the dye is passed by the beam splitter to a CCD detector from which a processor computes DNA concentration. A reference strip with a plurality of reference emitters emit reference beams of different intensity, from which the processor selects an optimum emitter for compensating for drift. Exposure time is automatically adjusted for keeping within optimum dynamic ranges of the CCD and processor. A module of the beam splitter and associated optical filters is associated with selected dye, and is replaceable for different dyes.
