    Abstract: An aerosol measurement apparatus for measuring an aerosol contained in a scatterer present in an atmosphere includes a light source, an optical element (i) that irradiates the scatterer with interfering light produced by causing emitted light emitted from the light source to interfere in an interior of the optical element, the interfering light having a plurality of peaks spaced at frequency intervals equal to one another, and (ii) that emits Mie scattered light by causing scattered light generated in the scatterer to interfere in the interior, and a photodetector that receives the Mie scattered light and outputs a signal corresponding to an intensity of light received.

    Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes a light source, an interferometer, a light receiver, and a signal processor. The light source emits laser light to a scatterer in the atmosphere. The laser light has multiple oscillation frequencies separated from each other at equal frequency intervals. The interferometer produces interference in scattered light generated as a result of the laser light being scattered by the scatterer. The light receiver receives Mie scattered light included in the scattered light subjected to the interference produced by the interferometer and generates a signal. The signal processor detects the quantity of the Mie scattered light based on the signal. Each of the equal frequency intervals is smaller than the full width at half maximum of the peak of a frequency spectrum of Rayleigh scattered light. The Rayleigh scattered light is generated as a result of the laser light being scattered by molecules forming the atmosphere.

    Abstract: A light observation apparatus includes: a first photodetector that, upon irradiation of at least part of a physical object with irradiation light, receives first light containing ambient light and at least one selected from the group consisting of reflected light returning from the at least part and fluorescence produced from the at least part, and that outputs a first output signal representing a reception intensity of the first light; a second photodetector that receives second light containing the ambient light and outputs a second output signal representing a reception intensity of the second light; and a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit attenuates a first signal component corresponding to the ambient light from the first output signal based on the first output signal and the second output signal.

    Abstract: A component analysis device includes a data acquisition circuit that acquires spectral data of an analyte containing components, the spectral data being obtained by measuring a spectrum of the analyte with a sensor, a type acquisition circuit that acquires information indicating a type of the analyte, a storage that stores a reference spectral data set including multiple spectral data of substances each of which is estimated to be included in the analyte, the reference spectral data set corresponding to the type of the analyte, and an analysis circuit that performs a parallel factor analysis by using, as input data, the spectral data of the analyte and the reference spectral data set.
