This workshop will introduce the basics of light measurements and how integrating spheres can simplify complex optical testing
Announcing a workshop on 'Integrating Spheres - A Versatile Solution in Light Measurements', to be held on 2 November at Photonics Cluster, Birmingham, UK.
Cost is £35 inc VAT.
The integrating sphere is a versatile tool in optical radiation measurements.
Applications discussed include the measurement of light sources (lamps, LEDs, lasers, displays), testing the optical properties of materials and the calibration of electronic imaging, detector arrays and remote sensing systems.
Subjects presented.
1 - Basics of light measurements - radiometry, photometry and colorimetry.
2 - Integrating sphere theory (diffuse reflectance materials and sphere coatings, sphere design considerations, sphere system configurations).
3 - Integrating sphere applications (measuring light sources, calibrating remote sensing and electronic imaging equipment, testing the optical properties of materials).
What delegates will learn.
The basic science of light measurements and how to define and express the performance of light sources.
How to specify and use an integrating sphere for measuring light sources, measuring reflectance and transmittance, testing and calibrating electronic imaging and remote sensing equipment.
Target audience.
The workshop is intended for scientists and engineers working in the fields of light source measurements and testing the optical properties of materials.
The event will also be of interest to those involved with calibrating remote sensing systems, or evaluating the performance of electronic imaging equipment and detector arrays such as CCDs and CMOS sensors.
