摘要:
Spectroscopy including a source generating light profile on the sample. The light profile is movable relative to the sample. An optical input for receiving light from sample interaction with light from the source, a detector including two-dimensional array of photodetector elements, a dispersive device between the optical input and detector to spectrally disperse light from the optical input in spectral direction across the detector, an optical splitter in optical path between the optical input and detector to split light based upon wavenumber so, for a spectrum generated by a point on the sample, the spectrum first and second portions are dispersed across photodetector elements of different array row/column. Controller shifting data between photodetector elements in spatial direction, perpendicular to spectral direction, synchronously with relative movement between light profile and sample so data is accumulated on the spectrum first and second portions across different sets of photodetector elements during relative movement.

A spectrometer assembly (10), comprising an Echelle grating (18; 46) for dispersing radiation entering the spectrometer assembly (10) in a main dispersion direction, and a dispersion assembly (16; 40) for dispersing a parallel radiation bundle generated from the radiation entering the spectrometer assembly in a lateral dispersion direction, is characterized in that the dispersion assembly (16; 40) is reflective, and the dispersion assembly (16; 40) is arranged relative to the Echelle grating (18; 46) in such a way that the parallel radiation bundle is reflected in the direction of the Echelle grating. The Echelle grating (18; 46) may be arranged in such a way that the dispersed radiation is reflected back to the dispersion assembly (16; 40).

摘要:
A high resolution spectrometer with a large free spectral range comprising an entrance slit for a beam of electromagnetic radiation to be analyzed, a first dispersion device for dispersing the beam to be analyzed into various wavelength components in a first direction, a second dispersion device for dispersing each wavelength component output from the first dispersion device in a second direction, and an imaging device comprising a sensitive detection spectrum surface on which the beam dispersed in the first and second directions is focused, the first dispersion device being an optical filter that varies linearly and has a surface on which the beam to be analyzed is focused, each point on the surface of the filter operating like a pass band filter with a central frequency varying linearly in the first direction.
摘要:
Spectroscopy apparatus for spectrochemical analysis of a sample having an excitation source (60) for providing spectral light (62) of the sample for analysis. The spectral light (62) is analysed via an optical system (64-66-68) that includes a polychromator (70, 74-80) and solid state multielement array detector (82). The elements (i.e. pixels) of the detector (82) are serially reel by means (84) to provide light intensity measurements as a function of wavelength. A problem is that the elements (pixels) of the detector (82) continue to accumulate change during the serial read-out. This is avoided by providing an optical shutter (72) for blocking the spectral light (62) whilst elements (pixels) of the detector (82) are being serially read. Shutter (72) has a piezoelectric actuator which is preferably a bimorph mounted as a cantilever. It is preferably located adjacent to the entrance aperture (70) of the polychromator. Bimorph structures for the actuator and drive and protective circuit arrangements are also disclosed.

A spectrometer apparatus is provided including means for focusing a light beam with a concave holographic grating, means for passing light reflected from the grating through a step order filter to an array detector and means for processing signals from the array detector. The spectrometer permits monitoring a plurality of grating orders simultanously without mechanical scanning.
摘要:
An optical system for a multidetector array spectrophotometer which includes multiple light sources for emitting light of selected wavelength ranges and means for selectively transmitting the selected wavelength ranges of light to respective slits of a multi-slit spectrogrpah for multiple wavelength range detection. The spectrograph has two or more slits which direct the selected wavelength ranges of the light spectra to fall upon a dispersive and focusing system which collects light from each slit, disperses the light by wavelength and refocuses the light at the positions of a single set of detectors.
