Dear customer!
 
Instrument Systems presents a newly developed system for ultra-fast testing of all lighting scenarios for advanced headlamps, e.g. HD / ADB / matrix / pixel headlamps. The AMS screen imaging system combines camera-based luminance measurements on a projection screen with goniometric far-field measurements in the light lab. For more information, see the Highlight article below.
 
Further topics in our January newsletter are our VCSEL lecture at the Photonics Spectra Conference next week, how to guarantee highly accurate infrared light measurement (new brochure), and how to calibrate UV LEDs with extremely low measurement uncertainties (technical paper).

ams screen imaging system
One system for all light distributions in Automotive Exterior Lighting
 
Instrument Systems offers with the AMS Screen Imaging System (Optronik Line) a highly efficient solution for testing all kinds and lighting scenarios of advanced head-lamps, e.g. HD / ADB / matrix / pixel headlamps.
 
The newly developed system combines ultra-fast camera-based luminance measurements on a projection screen (screen photometry) with goniometric far-field measurements in your light lab. This leads to time-saving and highly accurate test results.
 
The system setup includes a classic AMS 3000 or 5000 far-field goniophotometer with a DSP 200 fast illuminance meter positioned beyond the photometric limiting distance. The camera used for screen photometry is the recent LumiCam 2400B camera with five mega pixels, allowing an excellent resolution for the measurement of all common, as well as state-of-the-art HD headlamps.

\\ PHOTONICS SPECTRA ONLINE CONFERENCE / January 19, 2021
psc presentation
Lecture by Instrument Systems: Characterization of VCSELs for 3D sensing application

 
VCSELs have special properties in contrast to other typical laser sources. As a result, the classification of a VCSEL array is more complex and a couple of additional aspects have to be considered that would not apply for “normal” lasers. Consequently, the validation of a VCSEL’s laser class is not trivial, and even more so as no easily understandable guideline for the assessment of VCSEL safety has been published yet.
 
In this presentation, Katharina Predehl will guide you through VCSELs in 3D Sensing Applications, Laser Eye Safety, Laser Safety: The IEC60825-1 Standard, Laser Classes, VCSEL Beam Geometry, and Laser Class Assessment: Flow chart.
 
Register TODAY for the conference to hear the presentation (available January 19 - 22, 2021)

CAS 140CT array spectrometers for high accuracy infrared light measurement

 
The CAS 140CT IR series of spectroradiometers from Instrument Systems are high-performance array spec-trometers that have been optimized in order to fulfil the requirements for wavelength measurement in the NIR to SWIR spectral range.
 
With the cooled InGaAs or extended InGaAs line sen-sors of the CAS 140CT IR series a wavelength range of 780 nm to 2150 nm can be covered with two model variants. All instruments in the series feature thermoelectric cooling of the sensors to a temperature of -10°C (model IR1) or -20°C (model IR2). This ensures low noise and long-term stability.

\\ Technical Paper

UV LED sources demand calibration to precise measurements for safe operation

 
Bastian Eder and Đenan Konjhodžić summarize a UV LED calibration concept that relies upon radiant flux, and emphasize the advantages for developing measurement standards in the increasingly important UV spectral range.
 
The presented concept results in extremely low measurement uncertainties (k=2) of the UV-ACS, that are comparably low to those in the metrologically unproblematic visible range, thereby offering a reliable resource for radiant flux calibration in the UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C ranges.

End-of-line (EOL) testing for the latest automotive display standards

Automotive manufacturers have agreed on new quality standards for the analysis of automotive interior displays. These must be implemented by suppliers and also checked in production. Instrument Systems offers innovative measurement solutions for fast end-of-line verification of the latest OEM display quality standards, e.g. for color, homogeneity, gamma value and pixel defects.

Article: In-Line VCSEL Testing

 
In comparison to established measuring techniques, array spectroradiometers can fulfill the stringent requirements for spectral resolution, throughput and reliability that are applicable in particular in production environments. They are thus ideally suited to the optical production control of laser diodes – also VCSEL.

\\ DISPLAY WEEK 2019
Subpixel metrology of MicroLED and AR/VR display applications
einladung

At Display Week Exhibition in San Jose, CA / USA from May 14 - 16th Instrument Systems GmbH will put spotlight on applications representing the major trend in the display industry: more pixels. µLEDs are a strong candidate for the realization of very high display resolutions with pixel sizes as small as 10 µm and equally small pixel pitches. A higher resolution means that imaging light measurement devices must advance accordingly.

 
Within its LumiTop series, Instrument Systems developed an ultra-high resolution camera with an extraordinary technical design and outstanding measuring portfolio for unprecedented accuracy and high speed 2D measurements. In the Innovation-Zone of the Display Week Exhibition the light measuring device will be presented in an application for display testing in production lines where tact times are extremely short.
 
At Instrument Systems GmbH booth #1528 the LumiTop is showcased with a head-mounted display to be measured as innovative AR/VR display application. Additionally, high-end measurement systems for quality control, automotive applications, and production testing will be presented by our light measurement experts.
