  • Publication number: 20080304012
    Abstract: A system for generating a beam for retinal reflection detection includes a beam processor positioned to receive an illumination beam having a first spot size from a light source. The beam processor can alter the illumination beam to form a beam having a second spot size. Focusing optics focus this altered beam onto an eye, causing a spot to be formed on the retina. A detector receives reflected radiation from the retina passed through the pupil, and generates data indicative of a spatial extent of the eye pupil and an intensity map of the reflected radiation. A software package can determine from the data a pupil size and an intensity level in the intensity map. A controller in communication with the software signals the beam processor to vary the second spot size to optimize an accuracy of the determined pupil size and the intensity level.
