[Investigations of transient time-dependent spectral multi-channel measurement for shocked KCl crystal].

In this paper, the authors reported a new method for measuring transient time-dependent spectra using multi-fiber delay coupler and optical multi-channel analysis technique. The fiber delay coupler consists of five fibers with different lengths and its time-delay between two fibers is determined by the different fiber lengths. The light beams that came from the fiber coupler were coupled by a lens system into the slit of a spectrograph and formed a spectral pattern on the focus plane of the spectrometer. A two-dimensional CCD detector converted the optical pattern into an electrical pattern, and then the transient time-dependent spectra were obtained by a personal computer. The experimental setup was constructed, and the transient time-dependent spectra were measured for KCl crystal shocked by a high speed pill. The time resolution was 20 ns, and the spectral intensity resolution reached 1/18 bit.

[Simultaneous and real-time collection by multi-fiber coupling and optical multi-channel analyzer].

A new kind of instrument and method for simultaneous and real-time collection of multi-object spectra by using multi-fiber coupling and Optical Multi-channel Analysis (OMA) was reported. The spectral signals of one object, three objects and five objects were collected successfully in experiments. The spatial resolution of 0.5 mm and detected spectral range of 200-1100 nm were reached, and at most twenty objects could be collected on the image plane of 1 cm2 area with OMA 4 system. The design of the coupling lens's light path was discussed to guarantee enough light energy to enter the instrument and little effect on the resolution of spectral instrument. The instrument can be applied widely to the areas of supervising and controlling the quality of light beam in transmission and in the time-resolved and spatial-resolved spectral measurement.
