摘要:
A spectrophotometer is operative to measure or analyze the colors of materials such as textiles. A test sample is held by a holder and is illuminated by polychromatic light. Diffuse light reflected from the sample is collected and converted to variable monochromatic light and detected. The system is calibrated by using a secondary white standard calibrated against a primary white standard, by using a black standard to compensate for dark current and internal reflectance from a pressure plate, and by using a mirror to obtain internal wall reflectance used in a correction factor.

The invention is used to ascertain a sun protection factor for light, for example for cosmetics and sunscreens for which a sun protection factor (SPF) is specified. Two measurements of the light backscattering on the skin surface are carried out in vivo or in vitro or on skin models (animal skin models or artificial skin models) before and after applying the radiation protection means onto the skin, and the sun protection factor is ascertained therefrom. In contrast to standard methods used until now, the distance between the lighting surface and the detection surface on the skin is ascertained for the irradiation path of the measurement method. The skin lighting dose used during the measurement lies below harmful limits. The sun protection factor can be ascertained according to previous standards or for additional wavelengths or wavelength ranges (e.g. UVA, VIS, NIR, IR).

摘要:
A method and a device allow optical properties of a sample to be estimated. The method includes the illumination of the sample by a first light source, and the formation of an image of the sample thus illuminated, on the basis of which a first optical property is estimated, at various points on a surface of the sample. The method also includes measuring an auxiliary optical property of the sample and estimating the first optical property, taking account of the auxiliary optical property measured on the sample.

Distributed optical sensing devices are provided. The device may comprise a computing unit configured to receive signals indicative of an amount of light backscattered in an optical fiber and detected by a light detector; wherein the computing unit is further configured to correct the received signal for an amount of backscattered light undetected by the light detector due to dead time of the light detector. Or, the device may comprise a first light detector having a first light sensitivity and configured to detect light backscattered in a first distance range of an optical fiber; and a second light detector different to the first light detector and having a second light sensitivity being higher than the first light sensitivity, wherein the second light detector is configured to detect light backscattered in a second distance range of an optical fiber being farther away from the second light detector than the first distance range is away from the first light detector. Or, the device may comprise an optical fiber; a light source coupled to the optical fiber and configured to input a light pulse into the optical fiber; and at least one photon counting type detector. Then, either the detector has a dynamic range having an upper boundary and a lower boundary, being coupled to the optical fiber and being configured to measure light backscattered from a distance range of the optical fiber and to generate a signal indicative of the amount of the detected backscattered light, wherein the device is configured to restrict the generated signal to the dynamic range while maintaining a strength of the inputted light pulse, or alternatively, the detector has an input terminal optically coupled to the optical fiber and configured to receive the backscattered light pulse, and the device further comprises a variable attenuator arranged before the input terminal, wherein the distributed optical sensing device is configured to modify an attenuation of the backscattered light pulse during a single measuring cycle by the variable attenuator.
