The
Eigenlite RS-5A linear programmable digital uniform light aource provides a versatile way to
test and characterize CCD, CMOS, and other image sensors, cameras and detectors.
The RS-5A is a larger aperture, higher power version of the original RS-5
digital uniform light source. The RS-5A also includes a number of other enhancements
and functions previously only available in the RS-5B spectrally programmable
light source. When an RS-5A is combined with one of our wide range of projector
options, it becomes another extraodinary instrument for photometric and radiometric
calibration.
The Model RS-5A offers the monolithic package design of the RS-5B; the optical
head and controller are integrated into a single unit. The RS-5A is equipped
with the same manual and computer interface control capabilities as the RS-5B;
control is via the rear control panel, or through a standard RS232 serial
connection, or through an RS-5 desktop controller.
Spectral output selections for RS-5A optical heads range from the UV region
into the near infrared, offering the same narrow-band, quasi-monochromatic,
or broadband white light as the RS-5. Each head provides a single calibrated
spectrum. The controller LCD display reads in absolute NIST-traceable radiometric
and/or photometric units.
As with its companion products, the RS-5A enables accurate imager measurements
at relatively high speeds; often making complete detector transfer function
measurements practical. Using the serial computer interface, fully automated
sensor and camera testing systems can be constructed that automatically generate
transfer function data (i.e. photon and gamma transfer), and report various
figures of merit such as sensitivity, responsivity, electronic gain and defect
maps.
If you already rely on the RS-5, you will love the RS-5A, or, for even greater
capability, including spectral and colorimetric control, ask about the RS-5B
spectrally programmable light source.
