Gigahertz-Optik Product Launch at LpS 2014 - Fast, Accurate and Flexible – Spectral Color Measurement Technology
Gigahertz-Optik Product Launch at LpS 2014 - Fast, Accurate and Flexible – Spectral Color Measurement Technology With regards to photometric and colorimetric specifications, LED binning is a great challenge in light measurement technology due to the number of units. In addition to the highly accurate measurement values, the measurement time is also a significant factor. This does not only refer to a shortest possible measurement time and fast data transfer for high clock speeds. Precise synchronization of the measurement device with the system process is also of great importance. With the new BTS2048-VL, Gigahertz-Optik offers a spectral light and color measurement device that meets all the requirements in LED measurement technology in industrial manufacturing processes.

GL Optic’s Introduces Improved Uniform Compact LED Reference Light Source for Calibration
GL Optic’s Introduces Improved Uniform Compact LED Reference Light Source for Calibration The consumer electronics sector has been experiencing a boom in the ever-expanding offering of smartphones or tablets. Currently, practically each of these devices features high-quality cameras. This trend is in turn creating increased challenges for manufacturers of such products which faced with quality control requirements are expressing a need for reliable test systems to ensure consistent quality. A wide range of testing is required and may include setting or validating camera gain and offset, camera gamma and especially white point. In fact, most consumer and professional cameras need their white point verified for more than one type of illumination. Read more »
