ABSTRACT:
A spectral analyzer has a high efficiency optical collector having a first concave reflector portion and an opposed second concave reflector portion providing an exit passage therethrough, and a light emitting source of a predetermined wavelength range is positioned in the collector so that the light is collected and directed to the exit passage. A specimen holder is positioned adjacent the exit passage and has windows at its entrance and exit ends. An elongated reverse non-imaging optical member which has a peripheral wall reflecting light rays entering through the exit window of the holder reduces the angle of the rays relative to the optical axis of the optical member as they pass therethrough. The light passing through the exit end of the optical member enters a detector assembly including at least one photo detector sensitive to a predetermined wavelength of light, and at least one optical filter disposed between the optical member and the photodetector to pass light of the predetermined wavelength.
