    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a near-infrared absorbing filter, including an absorbing type infrared filtering medium having opposite first and second surfaces; an organic coating layer formed on the first surface of the absorbing type filtering medium for absorbing infrared rays; a first multi-layered film structure formed on the organic coating layer with the organic coating layer disposed between the first multi-layered film structure and the absorbing type infrared filtering medium; and a second multi-layered film structure formed on the second surface of the absorbing type infrared filtering medium. The near-infrared filter of the present disclosure is able to reduce the wavelength difference of T50 and T20 of the incident light within the range of from 0 to 30 degrees to less than 5 nm, thereby reducing chromatic aberration effectively and reducing ghost images of infrared reflections. The disclosure further provides an image sensor including the near-infrared absorbing filter.

    Abstract: An optical spectral analyzer for measuring an optical multi-channel signal by separating the multi-channel signal and measuring a plurality of single-channel signals simultaneously. The spectral analyzer can include a demultiplexer configured to receive the multi-channel signal. The multi-channel signal can be a multi-channel wavelength range. The demultiplexer can separate the multi-channel signal into the plurality of single-channel signals including a first single-channel signal and a second single-channel signal. The spectral analyzer can include a plurality of optical paths. The plurality of optical paths can include a plurality of respective detectors for measuring an optical power of the respective single-channel signals. The detectors can convert the optical power of the respective single-channel signals to corresponding electrical signals. In some examples, the spectral analyzer includes a controller configured to obtain the plurality of respective electrical signals simultaneously to correspondingly detect the optical power of the multi-channel signal across the multi-channel wavelength range.

    Abstract: An instrument and a method for measuring the characteristics of particles in a sample. The instrument comprises a light source operable to provide a light beam and defining an illumination axis; a sample cell placed on the illumination axis; a scattered light detector positioned to receive scattered light along a detection path from a sample in the sample cell, the scattered light produced by the interaction of the light beam with the sample; and a filter changer positioned between the sample cell and the scattered light detector. The filter changer comprises at least one optical filter and an actuator. The actuator is operable to move each of the at least one optical filter between a first position in which the detection path does not pass through the optical filter, and a second position in which the detection path passes through the optical filter.

    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein describe a divided-aperture infrared spectral imaging (DAISI) system that is adapted to acquire multiple IR images of a scene with a single-shot (also referred to as a snapshot). The plurality of acquired images having different wavelength compositions that are obtained generally simultaneously. The system includes at least two optical channels that are spatially and spectrally different from one another. Each of the at least two optical channels are configured to transfer IR radiation incident on the optical system towards an optical FPA unit comprising at least two detector arrays disposed in the focal plane of two corresponding focusing lenses. The system further comprises at least one temperature reference source or surface that is used to dynamically calibrate the two detector arrays and compensate for a temperature difference between the two detector arrays.

    Abstract: An imaging system and method are presents for use in reconstructing spectral data of an object. The imaging system comprises: an optical unit; a pixel array of a detector; and a data processor for receiving and processing image data indicative of light detected by the pixel array and generating reconstructed spectral data of the object being imaged. The optical unit is configured and operable for applying a predetermined coding to an input light field while creating an optical image thereof on a detection plane defined by the pixel array. Therefore, the image data is a function of the predetermined coding and a spectrum of the object to be determined.
