Abstract
Featured is a spectral analysis method and a wide spectral range spectrometer including a source of electromagnetic radiation and an optical subsystem configured to disperse radiation into a plurality of wavelengths. A pixilated light modulator receives the radiation wavelengths and is configured to direct one or more selective wavelengths to a sample.
Claims23
A wide spectral range system comprising:
- a source of electromagnetic radiation;
- an optical subsystem configured to disperse said radiation into a plurality of wavelengths;
- and
- a pixilated light modulator receiving said radiation wavelengths and configured to direct one or more selective wavelengths to a sample.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- dispersing radiation from a source into a plurality of wavelengths;
- directing said wavelengths to a pixilated light modulator;
- and
- controlling the pixilated light modulator to direct one or more wavelengths to a sample.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- projecting cross dispersed light onto a micro mirror array having a plurality of individual mirrors;
- activating individual mirrors following a selective sequence of mirror combinations to direct an individual wavelength or individual wavelengths to a sample;
- detecting a signal reflected by the sample for each mirror combination;
- and
- recovering a complete spectrum by recombining data from signals according to the collection sequence in use.
