Cosine Receptors couple to fiber optic cables and collect light with an 180° field of view using demountable diffusers. A perfect cosine response provides accurate absolute intensity when multiple lights are measured at same time. Cosine receptors provide relative and absolute spectral intensity measurements, for emissive color applications, and for evaluation of light sources such as the Sun, Lamps, LEDs and Lasers.

CR2 is a ¼” diameter UV-VIS-NIR cosine receptor using a polymer diffuser for 200-1700nm & 180° FOV. Buy Now!

CR2-RA is a 90° right-angle Cosine Receptor cube.

CR2-AP is a 10% aperture for the CR2 that extends the system dynamic range by an order of magnitude, thus enabling spectral measurements of sources that are 10 times brighter.

CR-LENS is a cosine receptor lens assembly that reduces the field of view from 180 degrees to a small spot. Adjustable focus allows variable distance from target surface such as OLED displays.

CR1-UVN is a 1/2″ diameter UV-VIS-NIR cosine receptor designed for use as a target surface for laser measurement. CR1-UVN can also be used as a general purpose diffuser (transmission approx 10%) for many applications.

CR2-OR is a CR2 with special O-Ring seal for underwater applications.

Integrating Spheres

used to measure light emissions including radiant or luminous flux or light reflectance from sample surfaces. An integrating spheres most important property is ability to uniformly scatter or diffuse light. Light rays incident on any point on the inner surface are, by multiple scattering reflections, distributed equally to all other such points and effects of the original direction of such light are minimized.

Irradiance Calibrations can be performed by StellarNet using NIST traceable lamps (IRRAD-CAL) or by the customer using SpectraWiz software. Applications include light source characterization of spectral intensity distribution, color temperature, xy chromaticity, dominant wavelength (and more), for LED, laser, solar, industrial lighting, and any type of light emission.

IC2 is a 2” cube with internal integrating sphere. It has 5/8” input port and SMA fiber optic output. Another SMA input can be used for reflectance illumination. Select the CR2-TP miniature tripod for mounting the IC2 for alignment and repeatable measurement.
