US Patent Issued to Ushio Denki on July 15 for "Spectral measurement method, spectral measurement system, and broadband pulsed light source unit" (Japanese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,359,971, issued on July 15, was assigned to Ushio Denki K.K. (Tokyo).

"Spectral measurement method, spectral measurement system, and broadband pulsed light source unit" was invented by Aya Ota (Tokyo) and Toshio Yokota (Kanagawa, Japan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A new spectral measurement technique is provided which enables measurement even if the light to be measured exists for a very short period. In one embodiment, a broadband pulsed light wave whose wavelength shifts temporally and continuously in a pulse interferes with a light wave to be measured. The intensity at each wavelength of the light wave to be measured is obtained usi...
