Abstract: A colorimeter capable of calibrating color monitors, whether having cathode ray tube or liquid crystal (LCD) displays, is provided by a photometric array of photodetector (38) and optical filter (50) pairs. The filters (50) include long-pass, edge filters which cover overlapping regions at the upper end of the visible spectrum and a filter which covers the entire visible spectrum. The outputs of the photodetectors (38) are digitally synthesized to provide a response which mimics the response established by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) xyz (bar) functions almost perfectly. The response which is mimicked may be represented by the CIE color matching functions. The pairs (38, 50) and the associated components are mounted on a printed circuit board (32) captured in a clamshell housing (12, 14) and having an array of apertures (20) which define angularly constrained fields of view of a surface from which the light, to be colormetrically analyzed, emanates.

Abstract: A multi-spectral two-dimensional imaging spectrometer (10) includes a combination of achromatic, well-corrected lenses (14) for imaging a two-dimensional scene on an internal field stop (20). The light emanating from this intermediate image is collimated with another well-corrected lens (24). A spectral separation subassembly (22) that divides the incident light into multiple, identical, and independent arms is placed in the collimated space following the collimating lens (24). The light in each arm is spectrally filtered based on the properties of an interference filter (30) in each arm. An imaging subassembly (32) composed of a well-corrected lens (34) forms contiguous images onto a single two-dimensional detector array (36). The images are identical copies of the original object with each copy having a different spectral component and can be viewed on a standard monitor or alternatively on a computer employing an analog-to-digital conversion device.

Abstract: A color measuring sensor assembly includes an optical filter such as a linear variable filter, and an optical detector array positioned directly opposite from the optical filter a predetermined distance. A plurality of lenses, such as gradient index rods or microlens arrays, are disposed between the optical filter and the detector array such that light beams propagating through the lenses from the optical filter to the detector array project an upright, noninverted image of the optical filter onto a photosensitive surface of the detector array. The color measuring sensor assembly can be incorporated with other standard components into a spectrometer device such as a portable colorimeter having a compact and rugged construction suitable for use in the field.

Abstract: In luminance-priority multilayer color film, one of the layers substantially matches the luminance sensitivity of the human eye. This luminance layer distinguishes from prior art color films that have a blue, a green, and a red sensitive layer. This luminance layer has the priority front position to sense light before being diffused and attenuated by other layers, giving the luminance record enhanced speed and clarity compared to prior art blue-priority color film. In another embodiment, a layered CCD sensor has a top silicon layer (1012) that is sensitive to all colors, followed by a yellow filter (1010), a second silicon layer (1008) responsive to green and red light only because of the yellow filter, a cyan filter (106), and a bottom silicon layer (1004) receiving only green light. An image from a luminance-priority color sensor inputs to a color space conversion to recover full color. In the preferred embodiment, a luminance layer on top maps to a luminance 'Y' value, and underlying color sensitive layers are used in conjunction with the luminance to derive the 'U' and 'V' chrominance vectors of YUV color space.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a filter having a plurality of filter regions with different degrees of thickness, consisting in: a) forming an optical structure comprising at least one optical coating (100); b) carrying out local thinning treatments of said optical structure in treatment regions (110, 118), each treatment region having with at least another treatment region a partially overlapping zone (120). The thinning treatment can comprise the formation of a mask and etching operations. The method is useful in particular for making filter matrix for spectroscopy instruments.
