Abstract:
A device for controlling an amount of light of a lighting unit for use in an endoscope, used to view an image of an object. The device includes a light shield for shielding light generated by a light source and transmitted to the endoscope. A stepping motor drives the light shield for a series of predetermined time intervals. Brightness of the image is detected during each of the time intervals and pulses are generated during each of the time intervals. The number of pulses generated is determined in accordance with a difference between the brightness of the image detected during each of the time intervals and a desired brightness of the image. The pulses generated are used to drive the stepping motor in each of the plurality of time intervals.
Abstract:
A broadband radiometer including (a) an optical integrating sphere having aenerally spherical integrating chamber and an entry port for receiving light (e.g., having visible and ultraviolet fractions), (b) a first optical radiation detector for receiving light from the sphere and producing an electrical output signal corresponding to broadband radiation, (c) a second optical radiation detector for receiving light from the sphere and producing an electrical output signal corresponding to a predetermined wavelength fraction of the broadband radiation, and (d) an output for producing an electrical signal which is proportional to the difference between the two electrical output signals. The radiometer is very useful, for example, in measuring the absolute amount of ultraviolet light present in a given light sample.

Abstract:
Calculator for determining proper exposure times in making color prints from color negative films comprises an opaque mask with three series of windows having respectively blue, green and red filters of graduated density. The windows have double wedge shape to provide contiguous points and other points remote therefrom. Color print paper is test exposed to light passing through the negative, a diffusion filter, and the graduated filters; when the paper is developed, the correct exposure time is indicated on the paper by the faintest double wedge image which has sharply defined points. A filter device for use in conjunction with the calculator comprises a wheel rotatably mounted on the lens barrel of a projector and having a series of openings: one clear for focusing, one with a diffusion filter for the test exposure, and the others with blue, green, and red filters respectively.

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for inspecting quantum efficiency homogeneity of a solar cell are provided to simplify an inspection by selecting the number of pixels and a pattern. CONSTITUTION: A light emitting device emits light. An image device changes a light path according to the individual control of a plurality of pixels. An image device controller(300) individually controls the plurality of pixels. Light passing through or reflected by the image device is radiated to a solar cell(400). A calculation controller(900) calculates quantum efficiency of the solar cell based on an optical current generated from the solar cell.

컬러필터격리층을구비하는이미지센서및 상기이미지센서의제조방법이개시된다. 개시된실시예에따른이미지센서는, 입사광중에서특정파장대역의빛을투과시켜광센싱층에제공하는다수의컬러필터및 다수의컬러필터들사이에배치된격리층을포함할수 있다. 격리층은컬러필터들의굴절률보다낮은굴절률을갖는재료로이루어지기때문에컬러필터의측면으로빠져나가는빛을전반사할수 있다. 따라서, 컬러필터에경사지게입사하여컬러필터의측면으로빠져나가는빛이다시원래의컬러필터로되돌아올수 있다.
