Illumination source

Light generation with a broad spectral profile

SuperK light source

Produces a bright output from 500 nm to 2500 nm, and the beamrequires optical filtering to be used in spectral imaging.


Optical filtering ⇒ hyperspectral beam

Acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF)

Can cover the spectrum from500 nm to 2500 nm with twoAOTF crystals

Returns two beams, one with visible light and a one for the NIR.


Final light delivery

The light is delivered using an micro structured fiber (LMA5).

Schematically setup

Novel features of the illuminations system

An small fibre output → easy to handle

Collimated Gaussian beam → simple scattering pattern

Broad spectral range (500 nm to 900 nm) → chemicalspecificity

Fast switching of wavelengths → usable for industrialinspection

Future implementations

Analyse products with simple changes (fat contents andparticle size). Make correlation between the SLS spectrumand the food property based on statistical models.

Combining the illumination system with a robot to move thefibre. This will make it possible to examine non symmetricscattering distribution and surface reflection.

Perform instrument independent characterisation of thesamples intrinsic scattering parameters.
