Abstract:
1. An optical system, comprising: a sample carrier receiving region configured to receive a sample carrier carrying a sample for processing; a source that emits an excitation signal having a wavelength within a first predetermined wavelength range along a transmission path; a first set of optical components that re-directs the excitation signal along an excitation path to the sample carrier receiving region; a power meter configured to move into and out of the sample carrier receiving region and receive, measure a power of the signal traversing the excitation path in response to the power meter being in the sample carrier receiving region, and generate a signal indicative a power of radiation emitted from the sample carrier receiving region; a reflector configured to move into and out of the sample carrier receiving and reflect the excitation signal traversing the excitation path in response to the reflector being in the sample carrier receiving region; a second set of optical components that directs the reflected excitation signal along a collection path; and a detector configured to detect the excitation signal traversing the collection path and generate a signal indicative of a power of the detected radiation.
