IPC: G01N21/62
Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des systèmes (14) et des procédés de détection et/ou d'identification de signaux provenant d'une zone de détection des signaux convenant à l'identification de codes spectraux. Un grand nombre de codes spectraux identifiables de façon indépendante peut être généré par des corps sensiblement petits (12a, 12b), et plusieurs de ces corps ou de ces sondes (12a, 12b) peuvent être présents dans une zone de détection. Simultanément, l'imagerie de spectres identifiables (60) provenant de la zone de détection permet l'identification des sondes (12a, 12b). Etant donné que le spectre identifiable peut être traité lorsqu'il est généré à partir d'une source ponctuelle à l'intérieur d'un champ de détection plus grand, un prisme, un barème de diffraction, un barème de transmission holographique, ou analogue (56) peuvent disperser de façon spectrale des images de marque sur une surface de détection. Un dispositif à couplage de charge (DCC) (18) peut identifier les longueurs d'ondes relatives des signaux créant le spectre. Des longueurs d'ondes de signal absolues peuvent être déterminées en déterminant des positions des marques, au moyen d'une référence de longueur d'onde interne au spectre (60), ou analogue.
