  • Patent number: 10436639
    Abstract: A spectrometer (100) and an optical input portion (32) thereof are disclosed. The optical input portion (32) comprises an assembly structure (322), and the assembly structure (322) is formed at a hole wall (321) of a through hole (3211) of the optical input portion (32). A light (L1) is incident into a dispersing element (2) of the spectrometer (100) along an optical path (13) after passing through the through hole (3211), and is dispersed by the dispersing element (2). The assembly structure (322) is used to be detachably assembled with an optical element (200). When the optical element (200) is assembled with the assembly structure (322), an optical axis of the optical element (200) is linked to the optical path (13). As a result, the light (L1) passing through the optical element (200) is incident to the dispersing element (2) along the optical axis and the optical path (13).

  • Patent number: 9891103
    Abstract: A spectrometer comprising a waveguide module, a diffractive component, and a light sensor is provided. The waveguide module has a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface opposite to the first reflective surface, and a light channel between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface. The diffractive component has a diffractive surface and a plurality of strip-shaped diffractive structures located on the diffractive surface. The sharpness of the profile of the strip-shaped diffractive structures on a first side of the diffractive surface is greater than that on a second side of the diffractive surface. When viewed along a direction perpendicular to the second reflective surface, the first side of the diffractive surface is positioned between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface with a distance away from the second reflective surface. A method for assembling the spectrometer and an assembling system are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7841743
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a reflector, a light source, and a lens unit. The reflector has an open side, and a reflective surface that extends from a periphery of the open side and that defines a compartment. The light source is disposed in the compartment and emits light toward the reflective surface. The reflective surface reflects the light from the light source towards the open side. The lens unit is disposed to close the open side and permits passage of the light reflected by the reflective surface therethrough. The lens unit includes a central lens portion, and first and second side lens portions respectively disposed on two sides of the central lens portion. The central lens portion and the first and second side lens portions are Fresnel lenses, and are configured to redirect the light passing therethrough to result in rectangularly-distributed illumination outwardly of the lighting apparatus.
