  • Methods and systems for static multimode multiplex spectroscopy
    Patent number: 7092101
    Abstract: Methods and systems for static multimode multiplex spectroscopy are disclosed. According to a method for static multimode multiplex spectroscopy, spectral energy emanating from different points of a diffuse source is simultaneously received. Different multi-peak filter functions are applied to the spectral energy emanating from the different points to produce a multi-channel spectral measurement for each point. The multi-channel spectral measurements are combined to estimate a property of the diffuse source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 16, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2006
    Assignee: Duke University
    Inventors: David J. Brady, Michael E. Sullivar
