Latest Patents
Hugh Mortimer holds a patent for a Compact Interferometer Spectrometer. This invention features an interferometer that can be integrated into a hand-held spectrometer. The design includes enclosed path optics, which consist of at least two reflecting elements and a beamsplitter. The beamsplitter divides an input beam into first and second beams, directing them in opposite paths around an enclosed area. The optics focus these beams onto a detector, which captures the interference pattern produced by the beams. Notably, the use of concave mirrors for both reflection and focusing contributes to the compactness of the interferometer.
