Abstract: A glucose monitoring system comprising a readhead positioned a predetermined distance from a sample aperture. The readhead comprises first and second LEDs adapted to emit intersecting paths of light. A beam splitter is positioned at the intersection of the light paths. The beam splitter comprises a band pass filter for controlling the center wavelength of a resulting coaxial emitted light for illuminating a sample on the sample aperture. The readhead further comprises a detector which comprises a detector aperture and a molded lens over the detector aperture. A light-scattering section upstream of the lens comprises a plurality of steps having angles greater than 90 degrees to reduce internal stray light.

Abstract: A laser projection system scans an output laser light beam onto an object to detect features. A high-sensitivity optical feedback system receives and detects a feedback beam of the output beam light diffusely reflected from the object. The feedback light and projected output beam share the same beam path between beam-steering mirrors of the projector and the object. The laser projection system has light suppression components to control stray scattered light, including ambient light, from being detected. A computer of the laser projection system calculates fiducial points on the object from detected features to align the projection system with the object without using targets. This feature detection is used in a process to guide assembly and fabrication on or to the object, and to verify the accurate placement of parts and fabrication steps in place after they are assembled or processed. In one form, the detected feature is a light spot on the object produced by a second light source.

Abstract: An aperture for reducing tilt sensitivity in normal incidence optical metrology is formed to include one or more holes. The aperture is positioned to partially occlude one-half of the pupil of a normal incidence objective. A probe beam is projected to fill the pupil of the objective. The portion of the incident probe beam that passes through the aperture is reduced in cross-sectional profile. As a result, after reflection by the sample, that portion of the probe beam underfills the non-occluded portion of the pupil. The portion of the incident probe beam that passes through the non-occluded portion of the pupil overfills the occluded pupil upon reflect by the sample. The combination of underfilling and overfilling reduces the sensitivity of the objective to tilting of the sample.

Abstract: An optical sensor device for determining the presence or concentration of an analyte, contains a waveguide disposed over a light source and a light detector mounted on a surface of a substrate and separated by an internal baffle, wherein the waveguide has a thickness corresponding to a far field emission point of the light source as determined by a light shielding baffle between the light source and light detector. An analyte indicator matrix is disposed on the outer surface of the waveguide. The sensor device geometry takes advantage of only direct illumination of the indicator matrix, and direct collection of indicator matrix illumination, without any significant reflection by said waveguide. Undesirable light noise generated by the light source passes directly out of the device through the waveguide.

Abstract: Radiant energy is transmitted to a probe element including an interior conical reflecting surface and a fluid sample chamber. Portions of the light which have been transmitted, partially attenuated, or scattered by a fluid sample in the sample chamber are directed by at least a portion of the interior conical reflecting surface to means for collecting the transmitted, partially attenuated, or scattered light. A stilling valve incorporated into the probe element enables elimination of entrained gas bubbles from the chamber.
