Abstract
The present invention relates to the design, construction, and operation for a diode-turret. Exemplary embodiments comprise several tens of laser diodes to function as a multiple-line radiation source. The invention further describes the construction for a socket-turret; this socket-turret will flexibly fit any numbers (limited only by the number of sockets available) of laser diodes. The invention further describes two radiation coupling-optics for the output from the turret of laser-diodes, one with an integrating sphere and another with a collimating scope. One operation method allows its user to set for any number of diode, functioning one diode at a time, sequentially, hopping from one diode to another, as a single-line radiation source for the spectrometry. Another operation method permits its user to set a group with any number of diodes, functioning several diodes simultaneously at a time, as a multiple-line radiation source for spectrometry.
