摘要:
The disclosure relates to a portable system having a fiber array spectral translator (“FAST”) for obtaining a spatially accurate wavelength-resolved image of a sample having a first and a second spatial dimension that can be used for the detection of hazardous agents by irradiating a sample with light, forming an image of all or part of the sample using Raman shifted light from the sample, and analyzing the Raman shifted light for patterns characteristic of one or more hazardous agents.

The disclosure relates to method and apparatus for obtaining a multimodal hyperspectral image of a sample for widefield spectral analysis. An apparatus according to one embodiment may include a plurality of optical lenses configured to interchangeably receive photons and focus the photons; a plurality of tunable filters positioned in a filter housing, each tunable filter selectively receiving the focused dispersed photons from one of the plurality of optical lenses, each tunable filter providing wavelength-selective filtered photons; a first optical camera and a second optical cameras for selectively receiving the wavelength-selective filtered photons from each of the plurality of tunable filters and combining said filtered photons to form a hyperspectral spatially accurate, wavelength-resolved image of the sample.
摘要:
A system and method for depositing a sample of a threat agent onto a substrate. A single illumination source illuminates the threat agent deposited on the substrate with a plurality of photons to thereby produce elastic scattered photons and Raman scattered photons. The threat agent on the substrate is identified. The system and method operate in a trigger mode that detects the presence or absence of the threat agent, and an identification mode that identifies the threat agent.
摘要:
A system method for depositing a sample of a threat agent is deposited onto a substrate. The threat agent is illuminated via an illumination source along an optical path with a plurality of photons to thereby produce photons transmitted, reflected, emitted or Raman scattered by the threat agent. An optical system collects elastic scatter photons produced by the threat agent and at least one of photons transmitted, reflected, emitted or Raman scattered by the threat agent, wherein said illumination source is located along an optical path, and said substrate is located along a plane wherein the optical path is at an angle other than 90° with respect to the substrate plane. The depth of field of the optical system is extended by passing at least one of the following through a phase mask: elastic scattered photons, and photons transmitted, reflected, emitted or Raman scattered by the threat agent.
