Abstract: The optical assemblies disclosed herein advantageously utilize a beamsplitting apparatus in association with either (i) the illumination path or (ii) the collection path of a color measurement instrument. For implementations involving the illumination path, the beamsplitting apparatus may be configured to spectrally divide one or more initial beams of light so as to emit a plurality of resultant beams of light, wherein the optical assembly is configured to illuminate a target using at least a first and a second of the plurality of resultant beams of light. Similarly, for implementations involving the collection path, the beamsplitting apparatus may be configured to spectrally divide light received from a target so as to emit a plurality of resultant beams of light, wherein the optical assembly is configured to detect at least a first and a second of the plurality of resultant beams of light. Advantageously, each of the first and second resultant beams of light is a product of a distinct set of one or more spectral constraints exacted by the beamsplitting apparatus.

Abstract: A system to provide radiant energy of selectable spectral characteristic (e.g. a selectable color combination) uses an integrating cavity to combine energy of different wavelengths from different sources. The cavity has a diffusely reflective interior surface and an aperture for allowing emission of combined radiant energy. Sources of radiant energy of different wavelengths, typically different-color LEDs, supply radiant energy into the interior of the integrating cavity. In the examples, the points of entry of the energy into the cavity typically are located so that they are not directly visible through the aperture. The cavity effectively integrates the energy of different wavelengths, so that the combined radiant energy emitted through the aperture includes the radiant energy of the various wavelengths. The apparatus also includes a control circuit coupled to the sources for establishing output intensity of radiant energy of each of the sources. Control of the intensity of emission of the sources sets the amount of each wavelength of energy in the combined output and thus determines a spectral characteristic of the radiant energy output through the aperture.

Abstract: A method of colour assessment of a sample (10) with respect to a reference illuminant, includes illuminating the sample (10) with a light source (12) that comprises a fluorescent lamp (18) and a plurality of light-emitting diodes (24). The spectrum of the LEDs (24) supplements the spectrum of the fluorescent lamp (18) to reduce deviations between the combined spectrum of the light source (12) and a target spectrum. The target spectrum may be that of the reference illuminant or it may be adjusted to make allowance for known properties of a colour assessment cabinet (2) or an observing instrument (16). The LEDs (24) may be arranged so that their light passes through the bulb of the fluorescent lamp (18), which thereby acts as a diffuser. Alternatively, the LEDs (24) and the fluorescent lamp (18) may be located in a housing (31) from which their light can only reach the sample (10) after being mixed by reflection from multiple facets (34).

Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination device (1) with a number of light emitters, for example LEDs (L1, L2, L3, L4) of individual emission spectra. Sensor units (D1, D2, D3, D4) can produce a vector of measurement signals (S1, S2, S3, S4) that represent the light output of a single active light emitter. Based on a linear relation obtained during a calibration procedure, a characteristic value of the light output of that light emitter (L1, L2, L3, L4) is then calculated from the measurement vector, wherein said characteristic value is based on the coefficients of a decomposition of the individual emission spectrum into basis functions.
