Abstract
An integrating sphere for a spectrometer, including: an integrating spherical body with a light entrance window for allowing an entry of light emitted from a sample, a first light detection window, and a second light detection window; a first detector attachment section located on the outside of the first light detection window; and a second detector attachment section located on the outside of the second light detection window in such a manner that the detection field of a detector to be attached to the second detector attachment section coincides with the detection field of a detector to be attached to the first detector attachment section.
Claims12
An integrating sphere for a spectrometer, comprising:
- a) an integrating spherical body with a light entrance window for allowing light emitted from a sample to enter an inner space of the integrating spherical body;
- b) a first detector attached to the integrating spherical body on an outside of a first detection window provided at one of two points of intersection of the integrating spherical body and a second straight line passing through a center of the integrating spherical body in a direction orthogonal to a first straight line passing through the light entrance window and the center;
- c) a second detector attached to the integrating spherical body on an outside of a second detection window provided at another one of the two points of intersection;
- and
- d) a third detector attached to the integrating spherical body on an outside of a third detection window provided on the integrating spherical body in such a manner that a normal to a detection surface of the third detector passes through either the first detection window or the second detection window.
