The field of applied spectroscopy is strongly dominated by publications presenting proof-of-concepts, lab set-ups, and demonstrations. In contrast, the corresponding number of commercial successes of inline spectroscopy is surprisingly lower. This article discusses inline spectroscopy from an instru...

Active illumination 3D imaging systems based on Time-of-flight (TOF) and Structured Light (SL) projection are in rapid development, and are constantly finding new areas of application. In this paper, we present a theoretical design tool that allows prediction of 3D imaging precision. Theoretical exp...

Infrared (IR) thermal emitters are widely used in monitoring applications. For autonomous systems, miniaturized devices with low power consumption are needed. We have designed, fabricated and tested a novel device design, packaged on the wafer level by Al-Al thermo-compression bonding. 80 μm wide Al...

Raman based gas sensing can be attractive in several industrial applications, due to its multi-gas sensing capabilities and its ability to detect O₂ and N2. In this article, we have built a Raman gas probe, based on low-cost components, which has shown an estimated detection limit of 0.5 % for 30 se...

A low-cost Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) instrument was developed where the traditional He–Ne reference laser was replaced by a low-cost linear encoder. An RMS sampling error of less than 20 nm was achieved by oversampling both the interferogram and the encoder signal and then resampling the int...

Abstract: We have designed a FTIR instrument where the traditional He-Ne reference laser is replaced by a low-cost linear encoder. We achieve an RMS sampling error of less than 50nm by oversampling both the interferogram and the encoder signal and then resampling the interferogram using a correction...

This article investigates the possibility of using non-contact interactance as a method for profiling the temperature in a processed meat product (liver pâté) as it comes out of the oven. The application was defined by an industrial partner, Nortura SA, Tønsberg, Norway, where more co...
