A housing assembly for mounting a first lens and a second lens includes a first lens holder. The first lens holder includes a ring-shaped structure configured to mount the first lens. The housing assembly also includes a second lens holder including a cup-shaped structure. The cup-shaped structure includes an upper portion configured to mount the first lens holder, and a lower portion configured to mount the second lens.

Optical assembly having a housing for mounting optical lenses

A computer-implemented method for optical element fabrication with optical scanner feedback includes initiating the optical scanner to obtain an optical measurement of an optical layer of a multi-layer film. A rotational orientation for an optical element that is to be cut from the multi-layer film is then determined based on the optical measurement. The method also includes initiating a cutting instrument to cut the optical element from the multi-layer film at the rotational orientation.

Optical element fabrication with optical scanner feedback

A method for assembling a first lens and a second lens is provided. The method includes performing an optical center measurement for at least one of the first lens or the second lens, and performing an optical center adjustment when the optical center measurement does not satisfy a predetermined optical center condition. The method also includes performing a polarimetric measurement for at least one of the first lens or the second lens, and performing a polarimetric angle adjustment when the polarimetric measurement does not satisfy a predetermined polarimetric condition. The method further includes assembling the first lens and the second lens to form an optical assembly.

System and method for automatic lens assembling and testing

A method, system and article of manufacture for amplification of light for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The method and system include a source of input light, a grating with grooves therein, a nanoparticle array disposed in the grooves with the nanoparticles and grating having a variety of selectable parameters. The combination of the nanoparticles and selected characteristics, including generating hot spots, and the features of the grating enable enhanced amplification of the input light signal to provide an output Raman signal of greatly increased intensity for Raman spectroscopy.
