Abstract: A device for measuring the output of an LED with a detector under different distance conditions without requiring the movement of either the LED or the detector. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention implements the testing conditions specified in CIE 127 allowing the determination of Averaged LED Intensity at the specified distances of 100 mm and 316 mm while keeping the physical distance between the LED and the detector fixed at the shorter distance of 100 mm. The exemplary embodiment comprises an optical element that can be selectively inserted into the optical path between the LED and the detector to make the separation appear to be the longer of the two distances. The optical element comprises a lens assembly and a detector aperture that creates a virtual image of the detector aperture at the longer of the two distances. The detector aperture is dimensioned so that the virtual image of the detector aperture has the area required by the standard.

Abstract: There is provided a radiation detector that allows accurate irradiation to a detection area and has a high detection efficiency. A collimator that has an opening for transmitting radiation to irradiate the detection area and a function as a shielding plate for preventing radiation from irradiating a part other than the detection area is installed on the same board that forms an energy/electricity converter (radiation detector). The radiation detector is constructed such that the alignment of the opening of the collimator and the detection area is easy, and the detection area and the opening of the collimator are close so that the detection efficiency is increased.

Abstract: A radiant energy transducer system includes a base. The base has a diffusely reflective surface and an optical area defining a horizon district with respect to the transducer system. A mask occludes a portion of the optical area so as to present a substantially constant portion of the optical area over a range of angles above the horizon district. An electromagnetic transducer converts between radiation associated with the optical area and corresponding signals. Examples of the transducing systems provide emission of radiant energy with a tailored intensity distribution over an area illuminated by the system. Other examples of the transducing systems detect radiant energy, and the position of the mask relative to the optical area of the detector system serves to tailor the sensitivity of the detector over a field of view. The emitters and detectors can be used together, for example in a system for tracking the position of an object.

Abstract: A vehicle light sensor for controlling light responsive systems such as an automatic headlamp dimmer. The sensor includes an enclosure containing a lens and a photo responsive detector. An optical chamber within the enclosure permits unwanted light from reaching the detector. A series of baffles within the chamber prevent light from outside a desired entrance angle from reaching the detector. A thin-film aperture is attached to the detector for controlling the size and shape of the detector's field of view. Gray scale shading may also be incorporated into the aperture to reduce the intensity of incoming light in selected portions of the field of view. An adjustment mechanism provides very fine angular view adjustments, beyond what is practical by simple assembly of molded parts.

Abstract: A non-imaging optical telescope having a variable field-of-view utilizes an atomic resonance filter within its non-reflective tube. The atomic resonance filter received incoming light through the aperture of the telescope and re-emits the light to an optical sensor. The field-of-view is a function of the distance of the atomic resonance filter from the aperture. A positioning mechanism is provided to move the atomic resonance filter within the tube, thereby varying the field-of-view.
