Radiant Vision Systems Honored by 2019 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards
Radiant announces that its NIR (Near-Infrared) Intensity Lens has been recognized with a Gold-level award as part of the 2019 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards.
Radiant was honored with a Gold-level award for its new NIR Intensity Lens solution, released January 7, 2019. The NIR Intensity Lens is designed to measure NIR-emitting LED and laser sources—for example, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, or VCSELs—used in non-visible 3D sensing applications such as facial and gesture recognition. Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens is mounted directly to a Radiant ProMetric® Y16 (16-megapixel) Imaging Radiometer and uses Fourier optics to enable single-image analysis of the full angular distribution of an NIR light source to +/- 70 degrees. The system is designed for precise measurement of 940-nanometer wavelength sources—used by the majority of 3D sensing devices in consumer electronics as well as other applications. Paired with a specialized software test suite for NIR source measurement (Radiant’s TT-NIRI™ software module), the lens solution can be used to measure emission uniformity, total flux, and radiant intensity of sources including fall-off and hot spots of flood sources (used for time of flight (ToF) applications) and accurate angular position of structured light dot patterns containing tens of thousands of emission points.
