Pro-Lite Technology has announced that it will be holding its annual light measurement seminar in Birmingham, UK, on 13 November 2008.
The event is being held in association with the Photonics Cluster and Aston Science Park and aims to provide a practical insight into how to measure light sources and the optical properties of materials.
The seminar speakers will be Robert Yeo of Pro-Lite and Dr Nick Barnett of Ocean Optics.
The seminar is aimed at scientists and engineers working with LEDs and solid state lighting, lamps, lasers, automotive lighting, displays, signs, luminaires, and imaging systems.
Pro-Light said the event will also be of interest to those involved in calibrating remote sensing equipment or evaluating the performance of electronic imaging equipment, such as CCD and Cmos arrays.
Spectroscopic techniques reviewed include reflectance, transmittance and absorbance, spectrophotometry, spectroradiometry, Raman spectroscopy, Libs and fluorescence spectroscopy.
Topics presented include the science of radiometry, photometry, colorimetry and spectroradiometry and the measurement of the optical properties of materials.
Also covered will be the selection and use of photometers and colorimeters as well as spectrometer operating principles and their application.
The use of integrating spheres in simplifying complex measurements will be reviewed and the power of imaging photometers explored.
Goniophotometric techniques will also be presented.
