Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an optical or infrared (IR) spectrometer suitable for on-line measurement in industrial, agricultural, field, commercial and other similar applications. Optical spectrometers are useful for a variety of analytical measurements. On-line operations are required to obtain real-time information, which is useful, for example, for process automation and quality control needs.
[0002] More specifically, the invention is based on an optical design optimized for measuring moving samples at a distance, and the invention includes light guides for signal averaging, linearly variable filtering for defining multiple measurement wavelengths detector, and a linear detector array for detecting optical signals associated with different wavelengths. Background technique
[0003] After recent developments, small spectrometer modules are available based on a fiber optic input connection that supplies light to a spectrograph (where the op...
