LIGHT SOURCE CHARACTERIZATION
Precise Light Source Characterization is essential for the development of sophisticated lighting systems. LEDs are used almost exclusively in current products. Optical components are often placed in the immediate vicinity (near-field) of the LED (lenses, light guides, reflectors), so that the LED cannot be simplified as a point light source. Rather, it is necessary to take into account the local emission of the Light Source Characterization elements. Ray data is often used here, which is primarily measured with our small goniophotometers RiGO801 – LED and RiGO801 – Micro LED.
Not only the integral spectral parameters are relevant, but often also the angle- and location-dependent spectral properties. In this way, more realistic optics simulations can be carried out with the help of spectral ray data, taking into account dispersion effects.
Basic features of our software (RiGO801 Measuring software and Converter801)
- Measurement of ray data
- Generation of all common file formats (IES TM-25, ASAP, Speos, LightTools, LucidShape, Zemax OpticsBuilder, TracePro, SimuLux, Photopia)
- Generation of spectral ray data with multi-channel measurements
- Luminance and color images
- Goniospectrometric measurements (spectral radiant flux, color coordinates, CRI, IES TM-30)
