Abstract: An analysis apparatus is provided with: a light emitting part, a light dispersing part, a light detecting part, a storage unit, and a control unit. The light dispersing part disperses first reflected light reflected from a food product when the food product has been irradiated with light from the light emitting part. The light detecting part: generates first detection data by detecting the first reflected light dispersed; and, when a food product sample containing known ingredients is irradiated with light from the light emitting part, generates second detection data by detecting second reflected light reflected from the food product sample and dispersed by the light dispersing part. The storage unit stores a regression formula computed using the second detection data as a parameter. The control unit estimates the ingredients contained in the food product using the first detection data and the regression formula stored in the storage unit.

Abstract: An optical filter is disclosed including two laterally variable bandpass filters stacked at a fixed distance from each other, so that the upstream filter functions as a spatial filter for the downstream filter. This happens because an oblique beam transmitted by the upstream filter is displaced laterally when impinging on the downstream filter. The lateral displacement causes a suppression of the oblique beam when transmission passbands at impinging locations of the oblique beam onto the upstream and downstream filters do not overlap.

Abstract: An imaging spectrometer, covering the visible through infrared wavelengths, which disperses the light by a plane diffraction grating behind a wedged optical element. This design uses an achromatic doublet lens with a reflective coating on its convex back surface to produce the spectra on a flat detector. Spatial keystone distortion and spectral smile are controlled to less than one tenth of a pixel over the full wavelength range, facilitating the use of simple retrieval algorithms.

Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.
