  • Full-field optical coherence tomography system for imaging an object
    Patent number: 9046338
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a full-field optical coherence tomography system (300) for imaging an object (319), comprising a light source (301), a first interferometric device having means for splitting an input light beam and comprising at least a reflecting surface (307), a second interferometric device having means for splitting the spectrally modulated output beam and comprising at least a reflecting surface, a multichannel acquisition device (321), the system (300) being characterized in that at least one of the interferometric devices includes at least a focusing optical element arranged to focus at least one of the input beams or at least one of the output beams onto the corresponding reflecting surface of the corresponding interferometric device.

  • Measurement of heat transfer between a specimen and an ambient medium
    Patent number: 4299494
    Abstract: The method comprises measuring the heat transfer between a specimen of the substance in condensed phase and an ambient gas. The heat transfer is detected by measurement of the amplitude of the angular movement of a pencil of light which is directed substantially parallel to the surface of the specimen subjected to energization variable in time, and which passes through an area located close to said surface. The device comprises a specimen support and a monochromator.
