  • Multispectral optical detection device and method
    Patent number: 5915279
    Abstract: The disclosed method determines at least a first measurement parameter of an object by locating the object in a measurement interaction volume having a light absorbing background and passing through that volume a measurement light beam which has at least two spectrally different wavelengths of light. The measurement light is interacted with the object to product measurement outgoing light which is light reflected from the object while in the measurement reaction volume. That outgoing light is filtered into at least two spectrally different outgoing light portions which are detected and generated therefrom are signals which are a function of the at least a first measurement parameter which is then determined from those signals.
