摘要:
A method and an apparatus for the analysis of particles contained in a material, such as particles in a fluid or on a surface, such as the surface of a semiconductor, by two orthogonally polarized, intensity and phase modulated laser beams, wherein the detected scattered light is synchronously demodulated. The apparatus comprises a laser source producing a polarized laser beam, a state of polarization modulator, and a photoreceiver for detecting light scattered by particles at an angle to the incident light. A synchronous demodulator, such as a dual channel lock-in amplifier, separates the intensity and phase modulated portions of the scattered signals. A reference unit for detecting a non-scattered light produced by the sample to provide a reference is preferably provided, as well. The size, index of refraction and identity, of the particles, for example, can be determined.

An optical processing head that detects a trouble of an optical processing head that will be generated at the time of optical processing before the trouble occurs is disclosed. The optical processing head that performs processing by condensing, on a process surface, a ray emitted by a light source for processing includes a cylindrical housing that surrounds a ray for processing emitted by the light source for processing, a ray emitter for inspection that is incorporated in the cylindrical housing and arranged outside the path of the ray for processing, and a light receiver that is incorporated in the cylindrical housing, arranged outside the path of the ray for processing, and receives a ray for inspection emitted by the ray emitter for inspection. The contamination of the inner surface of the cylindrical housing or the concentration of a scattering object flowing into the cylindrical housing is inspected by using a signal acquired from the light receiver.

A system is disclosed for detecting a nonlinear coherent field induced in a sample. The system includes optics, a modulation system, and a detector system. The optics are for directing a first electromagnetic field at a first frequency ω1 and a second electromagnetic field at a second frequency ω2 toward a focal volume such that a difference frequency ω1–ω2 is resonant with a vibrational frequency of a sample in the focal volume. The modulation system is for modulating the difference frequency ω1–ω2 such that the difference frequency ω1–ω2 is tuned in and out of the vibrational frequency of the sample of at a modulation frequency. The detector system is for detecting an optical field that is generated through non-linear interaction of ω1 and ω2 and the sample responsive to the modulation frequency.

Remotely sensing a target may include generating a first beam of optical radiation that is modulated at a first frequency and polarized at a first polarization. A second beam of optical radiation that is modulated at a second frequency and polarized at a second polarization may also be generated. The first and second beams of optical radiation may be transmitted to the target. Radiation at the first polarization and radiation at the second polarization may be detected from the target using a phase sensitive technique and the first and second frequencies.

Method and system for optical detection of nano-objects in a refracting medium. A nano-object (n_oi) and the refractive medium are illuminated (A) with a periodically amplitude modulated coherent electromagnetic heating wave (HB(Ω)), to generate a specified temperature and refractive index profile in the vicinity of the nano-object, and with a coherent electromagnetic probe wave (PB) to generate an emerging probe wave (EPB(Ω)) having at least one intensity component amplitude modulated by a beat at the modulation frequency of the coherent heating wave. The intensity component amplitude modulated by a beat is detected (C) in the emerging wave (EPB(Ω)), to distinguish and represent this nano-object in the refractive medium. The invention is useful in the detection of nano-objects in an industrial, physiological or intracellular medium.
