Abstract: A detector for receiving light impinging at a reception point and for measuring, for a plurality of angles of incidence, at least one property of the light. The detector includes a plurality of light sensors, each of which is associated with an acceptance interval (which defines the angle of incidence which a light beam must have to reach the light sensor) and at least two acceptance intervals are different from one another. The detector further includes an optical conductor for conducting a light beam from the reception point to a particular light sensor, but only if the angle of incidence of the light beam belongs to the acceptance interval associated with the particular light sensor.

Abstract: Optical characteristic measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other optical characteristics of teeth are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics preferably are spaced apart from a source fiber optic and receive light from the surface of the object/tooth being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object/tooth being measured. Under processor control, the optical characteristics measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence, gloss and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention. A method of producing dental prostheses based on measured data also is disclosed. Measured data also may be stored and/or organized as part of a patient data base. Such methods and implements may be desirably utilized for purposes of detecting and preventing counterfeiting or the like.

Abstract: There is described an optical radiation sensor device for detecting radiation in a radiation field. The device comprises a sensor element capable of detecting and responding to incident radiation from the radiation field and a radiation window interposed between the sensor element and the radiation field. The radiation window comprises a non-circular (preferably square) shaped radiation transparent opening. The optical radiation sensor device can be used in a so-called dynamic manner while mitigating or obviating the detection errors resulting from the use of a circular-shaped attenuating aperture and/or angular (even minor) misalignment of the sensor device with respect to the array of radiation sources when multiple such circular-shaped attenuating apertures are used.

Abstract: A spectral photometer intended for integration purposes includes a measurement head equipped with illumination arrangement (10) including at least one light source (11) for the illumination at an angle of incidence of 45° of a measured object and located in a measurement plane (M), a pickup arrangement (20) for capturing the measurement light remitted by the measured object at an angle of reflection of essentially 0° relative to the perpendicular to the measurement plane, a spectrometer arrangement (30) including an entry aperture (31) for the spectral splitting of the measurement light captured and fed through the entry aperture, and a photoelectric receiver arrangement (32) exposed to the split measurement light for conversion of the individual spectral components of the measurement light into corresponding electrical signals. It further includes an electronic circuit (100) for control of the light source (11) and forming digital measurement values from the electrical signals produced by the photoelectric receiver arrangement. The light source (11) is constructed as a cosign beamer and located in such a way that its main radiation direction is essentially parallel to the main beam (21) of the remitted measurement light and the mean distance of the light source from the main beam of the remitted measurement light being essentially the same as the distance of the light source (11) from the measurement plane (M). The light source (11) includes a combination of two or more light emitting diodes of different spectral characteristics located in one plane and preferably positioned on a common carrier, whereby the plane is oriented essentially parallel to the measurement plane (M). The spectrometer arrangement (30) includes a pot-shaped spectrometer housing (34) made of plastic with an essentially cylindrical mantle (34a) and a removable cover. A concave diffraction grating (35) is positioned coaxially to the mantle in the spectrometer housing and rests on an annular shoulder (34c) formed on the mantle and preferably shaped complementary to the diffraction grating. The cover (34b)forces the diffraction grating (35) against the annular shoulder (34c) at a predefined force by way of a compression spring (36). The spectrometer housing (34) is with an end opposite the cover positioned on a printed circuit plate (33) including the entry aperture (31) and the photoelectric receiver arrangement (32) and fixed to the printed circuit plate (33) by a clamping spring (37). The pickup arrangement (20) is directly mounted on that side of the printed circuit plate (33) which is opposite the side of the spectrometer housing (34).

Abstract: A colorimeter capable of calibrating color monitors, whether having cathode ray tube or liquid crystal (LCD) displays, is provided by a photometric array of photodetector and optical filter pairs. The filters include long-pass, edge filters which cover overlapping regions at the upper end of the visible spectrum and a filter which covers the entire visible spectrum. The outputs of the photodetectors are digitally synthesized to provide a response which mimics the response established by the Commission Internationale de 1′Eclairage (CIE) xyz (bar) functions almost perfectly. The response which is mimicked may be represented by the CIE color matching functions. The pairs and the associated components are mounted on a printed circuit board captured in a clamshell housing and having an array of apertures which define angularly constrained fields of view of a surface from which the light, to be colormetrically analyzed, emanates. The printed circuit board includes a field programmable gate array programmed to read data from the plurality of filter/detector pairs in parallel. The colorimeter is capable generally of measuring the color characteristics, especially the color temperatures of radiation radiating and reflecting bodies (sources), including so-called black bodies.
