Light Measurement and the Application of Integrating Spheres and CCD Spectrometers 

North Sutton, New Hampshire (September 20, 2007) – Labsphere, Inc a world leader in light metrology, spectroscopy and reflective materials is pleased to announce that it is co-sponsoring a Light Measurement seminar in cooperation with its Halma sister company Ocean Optics, and its valued sales partner, Pro-Lite Technology.

To be held on November 1, 2007 at the Photonics Cluster in Birmingham, England the seminar is intended for scientists and engineers working in the field of light source measurements and testing of the optical properties of materials. The seminar 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. The all-day event includes both presentations and practical demonstrations from industry experts.

The seminar, administered by the Photonics Cluster (UK) and Aston Science Park, requires pre-registration. To obtain a registration form or for further information, please e-mail Tahreen Kutub of Aston Science Park at tahreenk@astonsciencepark.co.uk.

Pro-Lite serves as a distributor for manufacturers of equipment used in light measurement and for testing the optical properties of materials, including Labsphere and Ocean Optics. Labsphere and Ocean Optics are both companies within the Photonics Division of Halma plc, a UK-based multinational corporation with leading technologies and products which generate, measure and condition light and analyze the interaction of light with substances.

Light test application software, test systems and components suit a range of LED needs

North Sutton, New Hampshire (September 13, 2007) – The industry’s first commercially viable light test application software will be the highlight of Labsphere’s LEDs 2007 exhibit October 24-26 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina (San Diego, Calif.).  A world leader in light testing and measurement, Labsphere’s exhibit at booth 67 will include its new LightMtrX software, light measurement systems, sensor calibration equipment and advanced Spectralon® materials and coatings.

For research and development, quality control and production of LEDs and LED products, Labsphere’s powerful LightMtrX light metrology software platform offers an unmatched level of usability and flexibility.  Windows-XP® and Vista® compliant, the software includes intuitive calibration and user-friendly interfaces.  Engineering staff and production floor operators are able to navigate the software quickly and easily.  MtrX-SPEC calibrates and analyzes spectral radiometric, photometric and colorimetric properties of LEDs. For spatial measurement, MtrX-LSA controls Labsphere’s series of CDS spectrometers, LSA 3000 LED Spectral Analyzer, auxiliary source meters and temperature controllers, as dictated by specific application needs. 

The company offers a full line of components and solutions for fast, accurate light test calibration and measurements.  Solutions are available for broad applications, or individual components may be selected to build an application specific system.  For backlight panel displays, laser cavities, medical imaging, and targets, Labsphere’s Spectralon and other diffuse reflectance materials can be applied to customer-supplied parts, or complete components can be designed, fabricated, tested and calibrated to customer specifications. 

A sampling of components from across the company’s product lines will be on display.  Labsphere’s experienced application engineers will also be available to demonstrate product and software capabilities, as well as to discuss custom solutions.
