    摘要: An improved illuminator (103) for producing broadband light and delivering said light to a target (125) for measuring the color of the target which incorporates an integrated system comprising a solid-state white LED source (105) to illuminate the target with continuous, broadband illuminating light (114). After interaction with the sample, returning light (107) is either collected by a detector or a light collector such as fiber (141), or processed and analyzed by an analysis system such as color monitor (267), or both, creating a real-time integrated color sensor device or system that enables color detection, monitoring, identification, or analysis. A solid-state illuminator integrated with a color detector advantageously allows for a more compact, reduced heat producing, and more energy efficient manufacturable device, and further facilitates integration of the illuminator and detector into a microchip or lab-on-chip device or system. Methods of use are also disclosed.

    摘要: A solid-state illuminator (103) for improved light delivery efficiency in general illumination in which a solid-state, broadband white LED light source (105) is coupled directly and advantageously to an integrated heat-sink or cooler (347) for thermal management. The integrated heat sink or cooler (347) is in thermal contact with the LED light source wires, bulb or lens, and may be placed prior to the light source end cap. The thermal management advantageously allows for more efficient and lower operating temperature at the LED light source, reducing the amount of power needed to produce a given amount of usable light, allowing delivered light intensity and/or light power density, and further facilitating integration of the illuminator and heat-sink or cooler (347) into a general illumination device or system. Methods of manufacturing are also disclosed.

    摘要: An improved spectroscopy illuminator (103) for generating broadband light and for delivering the light to a sample with an improved delivery efficiency, for higher optical density and/or reduced thermal transfer uses a solid-state broadband white LED (107) to produce broadband light (114), which is then transmitted to a sample region (125), such as a living tissue or blood in vivo or a biological sample in a spectrophotometer target region. The solid-state source keeps both the illuminator and sample cool during operation, allowing the illuminator to be integrated into the tip of a medical probe, a medical system such as an oximeter, or other monitoring systems or devices making measurements based on light scattering, absorbance, fluorescence, phosphorescence, Raman effects, use of a contrast agent, or other known spectroscopy techniques. Systems incorporating the improved illuminator, and methods of use are also disclosed.

    摘要: A biometric device for detecting biological tissue based upon ratiometric measurements of metabolic and/or biochemical intermediates is provided in which a radiation source (103) is electromagnetically coupled to a target region (125). A radiation sensor (155) receives emission signals (128) from the target region as a result of emitted radiation (121) interacting with the target region. A CPU (167) receives a signal from the sensor, and provides a biometric output signal based upon the presence of live, healthy tissue versus sham or dead tissue. Optionally, a conventional, non-metabolism, non-biochemical-based biometric sensor can be incorporated into the present invention, and the biometric output signal is then a result of both the metabolism- and/or biochemical based and non-metabolism non-biochemical-based biometric determinations. A method of performing this biometric analysis is also described.
