Abstract:
Feature points (41, 42, 43) in the heat image (10) of a casting die (1) are extracted and a predetermined geometrical conversion processing is performed on the heat image (10) such that the feature points are superimposed on the reference feature points (61, 62, 63) set in a reference heat image (30) picked up previously to generate a corrected heat image (20). A difference image (40) is generated by superimposing the corrected heat image (20) and the reference heat image (30) such that the corrected feature points (51, 52, 53) in the corrected heat image (20) is superimposed on the corresponding reference feature points (61, 62, 63). With such an arrangement, a highly reliable difference image can be generated even when the imaging field of vision slips off among a plurality of heat images.
Abstract:
A system in one embodiment includes a source for directing a beam of radiation at a sample; a multilayer mirror having a face oriented at an angle of less than 90 degrees from an axis of the beam from the source, the mirror reflecting at least a portion of the radiation after the beam encounters a sample; and a pixellated detector for detecting radiation reflected by the mirror. A method in a further embodiment includes directing a beam of radiation at a sample; reflecting at least some of the radiation diffracted by the sample; not reflecting at least a majority of the radiation that is not diffracted by the sample; and detecting at least some of the reflected radiation. A method in yet another embodiment includes directing a beam of radiation at a sample; reflecting at least some of the radiation diffracted by the sample using a multilayer mirror; and detecting at least some of the reflected radiation.
Abstract:
A monitoring device includes a first aperture plate, a second aperture plate, and a photodiode. The first aperture is disposed in a light path of a light beam emitted by a light source and includes a first aperture arranged such that a portion of the light beam having maximum light intensity passes and a reflecting portion that reflects the light beam as a monitoring light beam. The second aperture plate is disposed in a light path of the monitoring light beam and includes a second aperture that shapes a beam diameter of the monitoring light beam. The photodiode receives the monitoring light beam.

Abstract:
The present patent application provides a vertical cavity surface emitting laser assembly. The vertical cavity surface emitting laser assembly includes a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, optical element and optical detector. The optical element includes an identation. A portion of the output light of the VCSEL passes through the indentation and to the optical detector to be used for power monitoring.
Abstract:
There is provided a laser energy measuring unit whose laser energy measuring range is widened. The laser energy measuring unit has a filter provided within an optical path of a laser to attenuate energy of the laser, a calculating section for measuring the energy of the laser passing through the filter, and a condenser lens provided on one side of the filter for condensing the laser. The filter has a shading portion for blocking a center part of the laser beam from being transmitted through the filter at a position coincident with the center of the laser. The center part of the laser where its energy is large is cut by the shading portion, and the calculating section measures the part where its energy is not so large. Thereby, it is possible to widen the laser energy measuring range.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to reducing error in images obtained from an image-acquiring system. An image-acquiring system may be modeled as light received from a primary path, light received from a secondary path, and light received from all other paths. Light received from the secondary and other paths may cause error in images captured by the image-acquiring system. By compensating for this light, the error may be reduced. Other aspects are described in the specification.
Abstract:
An optical measuring device according to the present invention includes: a plane mirror (3), which has a central opening that functions as either a light entering window or a light source fitting hole (5) and an observation window 6′ that enables a photodetector (6) to take measurements; and an integrating hemisphere (2), which has its center of radius of curvature defined within the central opening of the plane mirror (3) and of which the inner wall surface functions as a light diffuse reflective surface (1). The plane mirror (3) and the integrating hemisphere (2) form an integrating space inside.
