Compact optical system for imaging type two-dimensional spectroscopic tomography

Abstract

Spectroscopic measurement is being widely used for non-invasive blood sugar measurement in recent past. Imaging type two-dimensional spectroscopic tomography has been designed using wave front division interferometer. Variable phase filter, which has fixed mirror and movable mirror, has been used to introduce the phase shift between rays. Capability of measuring biogenic substances using this method has been proved. For the quantitative analysis with high accuracy, the correction of the background such as the light-source fluctuation and the phase-shift uncertainty is inevitable issue. Background noises and vibrations in test bed are part of the causes that could results such errors. This paper proposes a new closed optical system to improve the system performance. One-shot type spectroscopic tomography and Smooth Impact Drive Mechanism are used here.
