Jam192,
I think you could model this fiber with almost any light analysis program. I know you can with Zemax. If you want, you can download a trial version of Zemax and try to find an example that matches your scenario. You can also call Zemax and speak to them about your situation. I have...
The lenses are made from the same mold, but perhaps there are subtle differences where the effective focus point has changed. I'll try moving the light source closer or farther away. The lens shape is intended to spread the light out in a uniform intensity pattern.
Unfortunately, I can not...
The photometer (sensor) - radiometer (readout device) combination measure the same light output without any lens in this case because the only difference is the lens. I am reusing the electronics and lighting package.
The photometer is approximately 1.5" in diameter.
I am only sensing a...
I am seeing a difference of approximately 25%.
I have not tested against other sources though it is possible for me to do so.
The lenses have no coatings.
I have no spectral data on the lenses.
They are not flat.
The measurements were done in a room without any light.
The wavelength of the light source is nominally 590nm. The testing is being done in a light tunnel using a photometer and radiometer by International Light Inc.
I am looking for some input on a phenomena that I am experiencing and do not understand. I have an illumination system where I am emitting a colored light through an identically colored lens as well as sending the same colored light through a clear lens. Both lenses are made from the same type...
Have you tried speaking to OptisWorks directly for tips on how to make a GRIN model without buying their upgrade? I noticed in another posting you said that a coworker has Zemax. I have Zemax and it has the ability to model GRIN media. I have never used it so I do not know how functional it...
