    摘要: Current apparatuses and methods for analysis of spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (SOCT) signals suffer from an inherent tradeoff between time (depth) and frequency (wavelength) resolution. In one non-limiting embodiment, multiple or dual window (DW) apparatuses and methods for reconstructing time-frequency distributions (TFDs) that applies two windows that independently determine the optical and temporal resolution is provided. For example, optical resolution may relate to scattering information about a sample, and temporal resolution may be related to absorption or depth related information. The effectiveness of the apparatuses and methods is demonstrated in simulations and in processing of measured OCT signals that contain fields which vary in time and frequency. The DW technique may yield TFDs that maintain high spectral and temporal resolution and are free from the artifacts and limitations commonly observed with other processing methods.

    摘要: An optical measurement method in which a series of light pulses are generated using a pulsed laser having a set of different mode hop sequences (e.g., an external-cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL)), the light pulses are detected with the detector to generate a respective pulse data set for each of the light pulses, and the pulse data sets are sorted into classes based on correlation coefficients. Sorting the pulse data sets into classes allows the pulse data sets originating from each of the mode hop sequences of the pulsed laser to be treated independently of the pulse data sets originating from others of the mode hop sequences in subsequent processing.

    摘要: In one aspect, an apparatus includes a first light source that applies first light having a first wavelength as a center wavelength to an object, a second light source that applies second light having a second wavelength as a center wavelength longer than the first wavelength to the object, an optical filter that includes first and second regions and that transmits third light produced by the first and second light each passed through or reflected by the object, first and second optical detectors that determine first and second amounts, respectively, of the third light passed through the first and second regions. The transmission ranges of spectral transmission curves of the first and second regions are located between the first wavelength and the second wavelength. The spectral transmission curve of the first region has a width at half maximum different from that of the spectral transmission curve of the second region.

    摘要: Method and device for optical inspection of a sample using spectral interferometry, wherein a beam (2″) emitted by a radiation source (1) is directed onto the sample (5) and a reference beam (2′) is directed onto a reference sample (4), and the spectral interference of both beams after being reflected on the samples or after passing the samples is recorded by means of a spectrograph (6); the interferogram I(ω) thus obtained is numerically derived with respect to the angular frequency ω. For the function I′(ω) thus obtained the zeros ωi are calculated numerically as solutions to the equation I′(ω)=0 and the frequency-dependent group delay τ(ω) is then calculated from the zeros ωi according to the equation τ(ωn)=π/(ωi+1−ωi), wherein i=1, 2 . . . and ωn=(ωi+1+ωi)2.

    摘要: An on-chip Fourier transform spectrometer based on a double-layer spiral waveguide comprises, in order, a waveguide input coupler, a 1×N optical splitter, N double-layer waveguide Y-branch structures, N double-layer spiral waveguides with incremental lengths, N double-layer waveguide Y-branch structures arranged in opposite directions, and N germanium-silicon detectors. The group index difference between the odd mode and the even mode in the double-layer waveguide makes the double-layer spiral waveguide function like an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. N double-layer spiral waveguides with incremental lengths are used to achieve a spatial heterodyne based Fourier transform spectrometer. Spectral reconstruction from the measured interference fringes can be achieved by a regression algorithm. The invention meets the application need for miniaturization and portability of Fourier transform spectrometers, and has lower temperature sensitivity compared with the existing on-chip spectrometers on the silicon platform.

    摘要: A full-range imaging method doubles imaging range of conventional techniques by removing mirror images of an imaged object that limit conventional images to a “half-range” and that are caused in part by the loss of phase information in a detected signal. Phase information of the detected signal is reconstructed with an averaging technique based on a modulated phase induced in the detected signal during scanning.
