| IL-105/6X Illuminator |
 |
The LED illuminator is designed to provide continuous (CW) and pulsed light for high-speed videography and image based measurement techniques such as PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry), BOS (Background Oriented Schlieren), PROPAC (Projected Pattern Correlation), IPCT (Image Pattern Correlation Technique), shadowgraphy and schlieren.
The device generates extremely bright, non-coherent light. Available colors are red (623 nm), green (528 nm) or blue (462 nm). Versions with UV (390 nm) and white light emission are in preparation. The pulsed intensity is up to 12,000 lm (528 nm). The programmable delay allows the flashes to be precisely synchronized with different cameras. |

|
| The illuminator can be equipped with a condenser lens and various C-mount lenses. In addition, light guides, for example by Schott / Fostec / Dolan-Jenner, can be connected to the device using an adapter. |
|
|
| In CW mode, the device generates continuous light whose intensity can be adjusted by software by varying the LED current. The thermal design of the device allows for continuous operation at full light intensity. The CW light can be externally controlled with a TTL signal connected to the BNC connector. A low potential (0 V) or a connection to ground of this input stops the light emission. |
|
|
| Internal single pulse mode |
In this mode, light flashes are triggered by an external TTL signal.
The following parameters can be set with the program:
|
|
|
 |
light intensity |
|
|
|
pulse width from 200 ns to 300 µs, steps of 50 ns |
|
|
|
delay between the selected trigger edge and the light pulse emission from 0 to 100 ms,
steps of 50 ns |
|
|
|
maximum light pulse frequency for safe operation |
|
|
| Internal double pulse mode |
In this mode, two flashes are triggered with a single external trigger pulse (PIV or double exposure imaging application).
The following parameters can be set with the program:
|
|
|
|
light intensity |
|
|
|
delay between the selected trigger edge and the first light pulse of 0 to 100 ms in steps of 50 ns |
|
|
|
pulse width of the first light pulse from 200 ns to 300 µs in steps of 50 ns |
|
|
|
delay between the first and the second light pulse from 0 to 100 ms in steps of 50 ns |
|
|
|
pulse width of the second light pulse from 200 ns to 300 µs in steps of 50 ns |
|
|
| The light pulse width is determined by the width of the external trigger pulse. The pulse current can be set by software. The parameters are continuously monitored by the software and dynamically limited if necessary. |
