Radiant Vision Systems source imaging goniometer

The Source Imaging Goniometer (SIG) by Radiant Vision Systems is a specialized instrument designed for measuring the near-field light output of small light sources, particularly LEDs. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and functionalities:

Purpose:

• Characterize the spatial distribution of light intensity and color from LEDs and other small light sources.
• Generate precise data for optical simulations and design of lighting systems and products.

Applications:

• LED research and development
• LED manufacturing and quality control
• Design of luminaires and optical systems

Components:

• ProMetric® Imaging Colorimeter or Photometer: Captures high-resolution images of the light source.
• Goniometric assembly: Precisely positions the light source and the imaging colorimeter relative to each other, allowing for measurements from various angles.
• SIG 2.0 Control and Analysis Software: Controls the measurement process, analyzes captured data, and generates reports.

Functionality:

• The SIG captures images of the light source from multiple angles, essentially building a 3D map of its light distribution.
• This data is then processed and converted into a Radiant Source Model (RSM). RSM is an industry-standard format that represents the comprehensive near-field characteristics of the light source.
• The RSM data includes information about the light’s intensity, color, and spatial distribution.
• Using Radiant Vision Systems’ ProSource® Software, RSM data can be exported to various optical design software packages for further analysis and simulation.

Benefits:

• Provides highly accurate and detailed information about the light output of LEDs.
• Enables engineers to optimize LED designs and predict their performance in real-world applications.
• Reduces development time and costs for lighting products.

Overall, the Source Imaging Goniometer by Radiant Vision Systems is a powerful tool for those working with LEDs and other small light sources. It offers a comprehensive understanding of their light output, facilitating better design and development of lighting systems. Contact us for quote
