    摘要: This invention relates to measurements of material properties by determination of the response of a sample to incident radiation, and more specifically to the measurement of analytes such as glucose or alcohol in human tissue. Some example embodiments of the present invention provide an optical sampling apparatus including an optical subsystem, having a receiver for receiving light expressed from tissue; and an alignment subsystem, adapted to urge a portion of a hand placed in operative relationship with the alignment subsystem into a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such example embodiments, the alignment subsystem includes a substrate having a plurality of projections therefrom disposed in a pattern such that the projections urge a portion of a hand placed on the substrate to a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such example embodiments, the alignment subsystem includes a substrate having a surface defining a volume approximating the shape of a portion of a hand such that the volume urges a portion of a hand placed therein to a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such example embodiments, the alignment subsystem includes a surface having a generally U-shaped cross-section and extending for a distance, wherein the surface is mounted relative to the sampling means such that a finger placed in the U-shaped cross-section of the surface is urged to a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such sample embodiments, the alignment subsystem is customized to portion of the hand of a specific individual.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods for generating interferometric information. Interferometric information from refractively scanned interferometers can contain errors due to wavelength-dependent refractive indices. The wavelength-dependent refractive indices of elements of the interferometer can produce errors when the OPD at a reference wavelength is different than the OPD at a sample wavelength. The invention can provide correction of interferometric information using relationships between the OPD at the wavelengths of interest, which correction can also be dependent on physical relationships among elements of the interferometer.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for accurate noninvasive determination of tissue properties. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise an optical sampler having an illumination subsystem, adapted to communicate light having a first polarization to a tissue surface; a collection subsystem, adapted to collect light having a second polarization communicated from the tissue after interaction with the tissue; wherein the first polarization is different from the second polarization. The difference in the polarizations can discourage collection of light specularly reflected from the tissue surface, and can encourage preferential collection of light that has interacted with a desired depth of penetration or path length distribution in the tissue. The different polarizations can, as examples, be linear polarizations with an angle between, or elliptical polarizations of different handedness.

    摘要: The present invention provides means for correcting interferometer alignment errors through the use of corrective elements. The corrective elements allow reduced accuracy in the assembly process. Residual alignment errors caused by imprecise mounting of permanently mounted components can be corrected using relatively low precision positioning of corrector components. The technique can be particularly applicable to the mass production of interferometers, for which achieving and maintaining the required assembly tolerances might otherwise be prohibitively expensive. Interferometers according to the present invention can be used, for example, in optical spectroscopy and in interferometers.

The invention can provide substantially homogenous light transmission, both as a source of light for optical systems and as a collector of light from a sample.
