  • Publication number: 20110188036
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a monochromatic measurement system. The system mainly includes a monochromator, a light-detecting device and a filter device. The monochromator functions to split light under test into respective light beams with different wavelengths. The filter device modulates the transmission efficiency of the respective light beams, so that the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a better response have a lower transmission efficiency while the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a lower response have a higher transmission efficiency. The response values measured by the light-detecting device with respect to different wavelength intervals are normalized accordingly. The measurement errors attributed to the measurement precision of the instrument and the environmental noise are independent from the variation of wavelength. The reliability of the measurement instrument is elevated.

  • Publication number: 20110050980
    Abstract: An optical imaging system with extended depth of focus is provided. The optical imaging system includes an optical imaging module, an array type detector and an image restoration module. The optical imaging module has a specific longitudinal spherical aberration corresponding to the depth of focus. The array type detector is coupled to the optical imaging module to obtain a image via the specific longitudinal spherical aberration provided by the optical imaging module. The image restoration module is coupled to the array type detector, wherein the array type detector converts the obtained image to a digitalized image and the image restoration module receives the digitalized image and performs an image restoration operation to the digitalized image to form an image with extended depth of focus.

  • Patent number: 7193697
    Abstract: An apparatus for feature detection of a test object includes at least one light source module and at least one image capturing unit. The light source module provides light to illuminate a test region of the test object, and includes a substrate, a set of light-emitting components, and a light-focusing unit. The light-emitting components are mounted on the substrate for emitting light in parallel directions that are generally transverse to the substrate. The light-focusing unit is to be disposed between the light-emitting components and the test object, receives the light emitted by the light-emitting components, and focuses the light on the test region of the test object. The image capturing unit captures an image of the test object at the test region.

  • Publication number: 20050094700
    Abstract: A apparatus for generating a structured line having a sinusoidal intensity distribution is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a coherent light source and a diffractive optical element. The coherent light source provides an incident light beam to the diffractive optical element, the incident light beam being modulated by means of the diffractive optical element to form a fringe pattern of sinusoidal intensity distribution. The diffractive optical element design is optimized in accordance with the optical field distribution of an incident-light-beam plane and the optical field distribution of an output-light-beam plane.

  • Publication number: 20040100639
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a three-dimensional surface profile of an object comprising a plurality of object points. First, a grating projector is provided to direct an incident beam of light having a pattern at the object. Then, a resultantly formed grating image of a line profile of the object is received and stored in a multi-line photoelectric image device. Next, the outputs of the grating projector and the multi-line photoelectric image device are taken together to form the phase shifter and the object is shifted opposite to a phase shifter. The above steps are repeated until all object points are imaged on the multi-line photoelectric image device. Finally, a phase of each object point is determined, each phase transformed and rectified to a height by an appropriate trigonometric algorithm for viewing on a display device.
