    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a measuring system for measuring a light source in a polarization-independent manner, having a camera comprising a plurality of image sensors arranged in the form of a matrix, and a microscope optics, and to a method for measuring the light sources in a polarization-independent manner. The aim is to make it possible to measure the light output of the light source in an improved, simple and largely polarization-independent manner while maintaining the spatial resolution in the microscopic range. To that end, the present disclosure proposes that a linear polarizer is associated with each of the image sensors, wherein the linear polarizers are arranged in the form of a matrix in front of the image sensors and two or more, preferably four, polarizers form a matrix block, wherein the transmission directions of adjacent linear polarizers within a matrix block are rotated relative to one another, preferably by 45° or by 90°. In the method according to the present disclosure, the measurement signals of the image sensors that are associated with the polarizers of the same matrix block are converted into light output measured values in order to obtain the desired polarization independence.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for monitoring a spectroradiometer (4), in particular for measuring light-emitting test objects (1), in which the spectral data of the test objects (1) are captured by means of an optical system, wherein the radiometric, photometric and/or colorimetric quantities of the test objects (1) are ascertained from the spectral data. The problem addressed by the invention is that of specifying a method for monitoring a spectroradiometer (4), where it is not the continuous recalibration of the spectroradiometer (4) but the monitoring of when a calibration is necessary that is paramount. The invention solves this problem by virtue of changes in the wavelength scale, in the light throughput and/or in the spectral sensitivity of the spectroradiometer (4) being detected by way of a reference light source (5), integrated into the optical system, with a defined spectrum. Optionally, at least one detector integrated into the optical system can additionally monitor the stability of the reference light source (5). Moreover, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for calibrating a spectroradiometer (1), comprising the following method steps: capture of light measurement data by the measurement of the radiation of at least one standard light source (4) using the spectroradiometer (1) that is to be calibrated; derivation of calibrated data from the light measurement data by the comparison of the captured light measurement data with known data of the standard light source (4); and calibration of the spectroradiometer (1) according to the calibration data. The aim of the invention is to provide a reliable and practical method for calibrating the spectroradiometer (1). In particular, the synchronism of spectroradiometers (1) situated in different locations (9, 10, 11) is to be produced simply and reliably. To achieve this aim, the validity, i.e. the usability, of the standard light source for the calibration is checked by a comparison of the light measurement data of the standard light source (4) with light measurement data of one or more additional standard light sources (4) of the same type, the validity of the standard light source (4) being established if the deviations of the light measurement data of the standard light sources (4) from one another lie below predefined limit values, and/or the standard light source (4) is measured using two or more standard spectroradiometers (1′) of the same type or of different types, the validity of the standard light source (4) being established if the deviations of the light measurement data from one another, said data being captured using the different standard spectroradiometers (1′), lie below predefined limit values.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the sequential measurement of a plurality of semiconductor-based light sources such as LEDs, OLEDs or VCSELs, in particular comparatively low-luminosity light sources such as so-called micro-LEDs. The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method. The object of the present invention is to provide a method that operates faster, more accurately and more sensitively than the known methods, which operate by scanning with a photodiode or with a spectrometer. The method according to the invention proposes for this that a current pulse is applied by means of a pulsed current source (1) to the low-luminosity light sources consecutively or simultaneously. The emitted light pulse of the LED (2) is converted into electric charge carriers by means of a photodiode (3), the electric charge carriers are added up by means of an integrator circuit (5), the added-together charge carriers are converted by means of an A/D converter (6) into a digital signal and the digital signal is forwarded to a measurement and control unit (7). The invention also relates to a method and a corresponding device for the sequential measurement of a plurality of optical pulses, wherein the pulsed light radiation enters an Ulbricht sphere (10) through an inlet opening (11), a first portion of the light radiation, which exits the Ulbricht sphere (10) following interaction with the same through a first outlet opening, is measured by means of a first detector (14, 18) and a second portion of the light radiation, which exits the Ulbricht sphere (10) without interaction with the same through a second outlet opening (19), is measured by means of a second detector (14′).

    摘要: A colorimeter with multiple sensings of light to provide higher accuracy measurements of the primaries of a human-standard observer based color space is provided. This color space (target color space) must have the characteristic of two chromaticity coordinates and an achromatic primary like CIELAB, CIELUV or xyY in CIE 1931. The calibration of the device includes training with a set of calibration illuminants. Two sets of calibration-factors are determined. The first set of calibration factors yields intensity of primaries optimized with respect to chromaticity, the second set yields the optimized intensity of the achromatic primary. The combination of these sets of calibration factors enable the colorimeter to deliver values of that light with respect to three primaries of a human-standard-observer-based color space optimized with respect to chromaticity and the achromatic primary.
