  • Publication number: 20230273122
    Abstract: A device may receive information identifying results of a set of spectroscopic measurements of a training set of known samples and a validation set of known samples. The device may generate a classification model based on the information identifying the results of the set of spectroscopic measurements, wherein the classification model includes at least one class relating to a material of interest for a spectroscopic determination, and wherein the classification model includes a no-match class relating to at least one of at least one material that is not of interest or a baseline spectroscopic measurement. The device may receive information identifying a particular result of a particular spectroscopic measurement of an unknown sample. The device may determine whether the unknown sample is included in the no-match class using the classification model. The device may provide output indicating whether the unknown sample is included in the no-match class.

  • Patent number: 10222325
    Abstract: A portable spectrometer device includes an illumination source for directing at a sample, and a tapered light pipe (TLP) for capturing light interacting with the sample at a first focal ratio and for delivering the light at a second focal ratio lower than the first focal ratio. A linearly variable filter (LVF) separates the captured light into a spectrum of constituent wavelength signals; and a detector array, including a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels disposed to receive at least a portion of a plurality of the constituent wavelength signals provides a power reading for each constituent wavelength. Preferably, the TLP is lensed at one end, and recessed in a protective boot with stepped inner walls. The gap between the TLP and LVF is minimized to further enhance resolution and robustness.
