RS-5
The Eigenlite RS-5 linear programmable digital light source provides a versatile way to test and characterize CCD, CMOS, and other image sensors, cameras and detectors. When combined with one of our wide range of projector options, it becomes the ultimate instrument for photometric and radiometric calibration; delivering near perfect linearity and uniformity - giving the sensor or camera engineer/manufacturer an unparalleled foundation with which to calibrate and verify the quality and consistency of their imaging components and products.
The Model RS-5 consists of a Model 21750 linear programmable light source controller and a feedback-stabilized LED optical head.
Spectral output selections for the optical heads range from the UV region into the near infrared, offering either narrow-band, quasi-monochromatic, or broadband white light. Each head provides a single calibrated spectrum. The controller display reads in absolute NIST-traceable radiometric and/or photometric units.
The Model RS-5 is equipped with both manual and computer interface control. Computer control is by simple ASCII commands over a built in RS-232 port. A single operator can perform a host of highly accurate measurements in just a matter of minutes. Using the serial computer interface, many users have produced fully automated sensor and camera testing systems which automatically generate transfer function data and report figures of merit (i.e. photon and gamma transfer), sensitivity, responsivity, electronic gain, defect maps etc. With the RS-5's linearity, dynamic range, uniformity, and fully digital control, you are never limited by your needs or imagination.
And behind the system's calibration stands the preeminent measurement expertise at Gamma Scientific. Gamma Scientific produces the most stable and accurate light measurement and generation equipment available today.

RS-5A
The Eigenlite RS-5A linear programmable digital light source provides a versatile way to test and characterize CCD, CMOS, and other image sensors, cameras and detectors. The RS-5A is a larger aperture, higher power version of the original RS-5 digital light source. The RS-5A also includes a number of other enhancements and functions previously only available in the RS-5B spectrally programmable light source. When an RS-5A is combined with one of our wide range of projector options, it becomes another extraodinary instrument for photometric and radiometric calibration.
The Model RS-5A offers the monolithic package design of the RS-5B; the optical head and controller are integrated into a single unit. The RS-5A is equipped with the same manual and computer interface control capabilities as the RS-5B; control is via the rear control panel, or through a standard RS232 serial connection, or through an RS-5 desktop controller.
Spectral output selections for RS-5A optical heads range from the UV region into the near infrared, offering the same narrow-band, quasi-monochromatic, or broadband white light as the RS-5. Each head provides a single calibrated spectrum. The controller LCD display reads in absolute NIST-traceable radiometric and/or photometric units.
As with its companion products, the RS-5A enables accurate imager measurements at relatively high speeds; often making complete detector transfer function measurements practical. Using the serial computer interface, fully automated sensor and camera testing systems can be constructed that automatically generate transfer function data (i.e. photon and gamma transfer), and report various figures of merit such as sensitivity, responsivity, electronic gain and defect maps.
If you already rely on the RS-5, you will love the RS-5A, or, for even greater capability, including spectral and colorimetric control, ask about the RS-5B spectrally programmable light source.
- High-resolution digital brightness control provides near perfect linearity - less than 0.1% R.M.S residual nonlinearity over the entire brightness range
- Light level setting to 1 part in 65,535, in absolute, NIST traceable, radiometric and/or photometric units
- Spectral distributions ranging from the UV into the near infrared, RGB, and broadband white
- Computer controllable with simple commands that easily integrate into test systems
RS-5B
The Eigenlite RS-5B spectrally programmable digital light source provides a versatile way to test and characterize CCD, CMOS, and other image sensors, cameras, and detectors. Together with a range of projector options, the system delivers near perfect linearity and uniformity, giving the sensor or camera engineer and manufacturer an unparalleled foundation with which to verify the quality and consistency of their components and products.
The Model RS-5B is equipped with both manual and computer interface control. Manual control is through either the RS-5B rear panel or using an RS-5 desktop controller (refer to the separate RS-5 Digital Light Source Product Summary). Computer control uses simple ASCII commands over a built in RS-232 port. When coupled with a PC, the optional SynthiColor™ software package provides interactive spectral and colorimetric programming.
The system allows a single operator to perform a diverse set of highly accurate measurements in just a matter of minutes. And behind the system’s absolute measurements stands the precision calibration and measurement expertise at Gamma Scientific. In fact, Gamma’s laboratory calibration standards fall within one percent uncertainty relative to international standards – reinforcing the company’s preeminent position in producing and maintaining the most accurate light measurement and generation equipment available today.
