Abstract: A light-measuring device comprises a photosensor, a light shield and a control device. The light shield has a plurality of apertures. Light from a luminous surface of a plane light source project onto the photosensor through the apertures of the light shield to form a plurality of non-overlapping photosensing areas on the photosensor. Each photosensing area on the photosensor generates a corresponding signal. The control device analyzes the corresponding signals from the photosensing areas to check the light from each corresponding test area on the luminous surface. With the light-measuring device, a tester can adjust the color temperature and brightness values of the plane light source.

Abstract: Many applications of radiant energy transducer systems call for specific performance characteristics over desired fields of view or footprints on identified surfaces. Constructive occlusion utilizes a mask sized and positioned to occlude an active optical area, such as an aperture of a diffusely reflective cavity, so as to provide a tailored performance characteristic. Use of principles of constructive occlusion alone or in combination with several other techniques enable tailoring of the illumination distribution or the sensitivity profile of a radiant energy transducer system to meet the demands of specific applications. One mechanism used to further tailor performance involves a non-diffuse reflective shoulder along a peripheral section of the mask and cavity type system. Another technique involves using a retro-reflective surface, for example along a portion of the periphery of the system, to limit the angular field of view and to redirect light back into the system for emission within the desired field. Another technique involves use of a reflective wall along one side of the system, to limit the field of view to angles on the opposite side of the axis of the mask and cavity configuration.
