The Eigenlite RS-5 linear programmable digital uniform light source provides a versatile way to test and characterize CCD, CMOS, and other image sensors, cameras and detectors. When combined with one of our wide range of projector options, it becomes the ultimate instrument for photometric and radiometric calibration; delivering near perfect linearity and uniformity - giving the sensor or camera engineer/manufacturer an unparalleled foundation with which to calibrate and verify the quality and consistency of their imaging components and products.

The Model RS-5 consists of a Model 21750 linear programmable light source controller and a feedback-stabilized LED optical head.

Spectral output selections for the optical heads range from the UV region into the near infrared, offering either narrow-band, quasi-monochromatic, or broadband white light. Each head provides a single calibrated spectrum. The controller display reads in absolute NIST-traceable radiometric and/or photometric units.

The Model RS-5 is equipped with both manual and computer interface control. Computer control is by simple ASCII commands over a built in RS-232 port. A single operator can perform a host of highly accurate measurements in just a matter of minutes. Using the serial computer interface, many users have produced fully automated sensor and camera testing systems which automatically generate transfer function data and report figures of merit (i.e. photon and gamma transfer), sensitivity, responsivity, electronic gain, defect maps etc. With the RS-5's linearity, dynamic range, uniformity, and fully digital control, you are never limited by your needs or imagination.

And behind the system's calibration stands the preeminent measurement expertise at Gamma Scientific. Gamma Scientific produces the most stable and accurate light measurement and generation equipment available today.
