Abstract:
The present invention provides an optical transmission device, comprising a chamber having a light input into the chamber, and having a first port allowing light to pass out of the chamber, and comprising internal surfaces where at least a portion of the surfaces is diffusely reflecting, and where at least a portion of the one or more surfaces is specularly reflecting, and where the light input and the first port and the one or more surfaces are configured such that substantially all light entering the chamber via the light source within a first predetermined aperture must encounter the diffusely reflecting portion before exiting the chamber via the first port within a second predetermined aperture. The invention can provide substantially homogenous light transmission, both as a source of light for optical systems and as a collector of light from a sample.
Abstract:
A multi-channel array spectrometer combines a spectral measurement system and a reference detector which measures photometric or radiometric qualities. High accuracy photometric or radiometric measurement of a wide dynamic range can be achieved by correcting measurement results of the reference detector with a spectral correction factor. The multi-channel array spectrometer comprises a bandpass filter wheel holding a set of bandpass filters and an open hole. The wheel is placed between an entrance slit and gratings. A test light beam passes through a turret of the bandpass filters. The test light beam can be precisely measured band by band. The spectrometer can also quickly and accurately measure a plurality of test light sources having similar spectral characteristics by using the stray light correction factor.

The quantum dot based radiation source can be used in a calibration system or calibrator, for example to calibrate a detector.
Abstract:
A measuring device for measuring optical properties of transparent substrates includes a light transmitter and/or light receiver comprising a hollow cylinder having a highly reflective and diffusely dispersive inner surface. The light transmitter comprises a light source arranged in its interior and a light exit opening at a distance from the light source. The light receiver has a light sensor instead of the light source, at a distance from a light entrance opening. The light source and light sensor are arranged at such a distance from the light exit opening and light entrance opening respectively, given a corresponding direction of propagation of the light, that light emitted by the light source or received by the light sensor and multiply reflected in the hollow cylinder emerges as diffuse light from the light exit opening or is incident on the light sensor.
Abstract:
An apparatus for irradiating blood or blood products, preferably with ultra violet or visible light, to reduce contaminants in the blood or blood products. A removable radiometer having light integrating chambers detects the light intensity, allowing the radiation characteristics of the apparatus to be calibrated. The light chambers have an aluminum reflecting surface prepared by machining, grit blasting, polishing and plasma treatment including plasma cleaning and oxidation.
Abstract:
A mirror is provided with a light source window and an illumination window each establishing communicative connection between an inner face side and an outer side of a hemispherical unit. The light source window is an opening to which a light source OBJ to be measured is attached mainly. The illumination window is an opening for guiding a flux of light from a correcting light source used for measurement of self-absorption toward the inner face of the hemispherical unit. A self-absorption correcting coefficient of the light source OBJ is calculated based on an illuminance by a correcting flux of light in a case where the light source to be measured OBJ in a non-light emitting state is attached to the light source window and an illuminance by a correcting flux of light in a case where a calibration mirror is attached to the light source window.

Abstract:
A uniform light generating system for adjusting output brightness, including a light-generating unit, a light-transmitting unit, a hollow spheroid unit, a light-sensing unit, and a control unit. The light-generating unit has a light-emitting element for generating light beams and a brightness control element for adjusting the luminous flux of the light beam. The hollow spheroid unit is communicated with the other side of the light-transmitting unit for guiding the light beams into an external casing of the hollow spheroid unit. The light-sensing unit detects electric power values in the external casing. The control unit is electrically connected to the light-generating unit and the light-sensing unit. Thereby a user can obtain a real illumination value via adjusting the illumination values of the light beams that are projected from the hollow spheroid unit.
