Light solutions for military applications
Manufacturers and suppliers of lighting technology for the military industry need accurate and fast systems for quality verification.
Lighting technology for the defense industry
Manufacturers and suppliers of lighting technology for the defense industry need accurate and fast systems for quality verification. They often face the challenge of testing dozens of products. Then the ease and speed of the entire process becomes crucial. Our devices are designed according to the ‘plug and measure’ concept, allowing for a quick start. They are all individually calibrated to make work as easy as possible. They can be freely combined with each other to obtain a measurement system tailored to specific needs. Extensive analysis software is also provided, guaranteeing quick access to all relevant information.
Night vision system performance
Night time visibility can be enhanced by precisely designed and efficient Infrared active emitting sources. We offer comprehensive selection of photometric and radiometric equipment for tests and measurements that go beyond the visual range.
Vehicle & aircraft lights approval
Excellent nighttime visibility and maintaining a low profile for covert operations are critical performance parameters for military vehicle lighting systems. LED sources and lamps must be measured to ensure the color consistency, intensity values or spatial distribution patterns. Blackout Light, Tail and Head lamps must be tested according to industry specific standards.
Quality of displays and backlit controls
We place high value on calibration procedures and system design to increase the accuracy of our systems. Each spectroradiometer is individually calibrated and before the Absolute Spectral Calibration process, three pre-calibration stages are performed: (1) Wavelength calibration, (2) non-Linearity correction, and (3) Optical Stray-Light Rejection*.
Who is this light solution for?
- LED components and luminaire manufacturers who produce for military appilcations
- research and developments centers for military technologies
Vehicle & aircraft lights approval
Excellent nighttime visibility and maintaining a low profile for covert operations are critical performance parameters for military vehicle lighting systems. LED sources and lamps must be measured to ensure the color consistency, intensity values or spatial distribution patterns. Blackout Light, Tail and Head lamps must be tested according to industry specific standards. Our systems allows for immediate tests and approval of any light emitting sources. The GL PHOTOMETER 3.0 LS + Flicker has been designed for On Fly (non stop) measurements of lamps on goniophotometer. Our new Spectrally Corrected GL RADIOMETER SC improves speed and accuracy of inferred sources testing up to 2500 nm.
Quality of displays and backlit controls
Electronic devices used in military technologies with luminous elements of various shapes and sizes require more advanced analysis than just measuring spot luminance meters. Imaging Luminance Measuring Device GL OPTICAM 2.0 4K TEC is used to verify luminous components in terms of their compliance with standards and to assess their quality. The purpose designed GL SPECTROSOFT software for image analysis is a great tool for R&D and production quality control.
Night vision system performance
Night time visibility can be enhanced by precisely designed and efficient Infrared active emitting sources. We offer comprehensive selection of photometric and radiometric equipment for tests and measurements that go beyond the visual range. GL Optic systems are the best choice for VIS and IR lighting products quality control. This easy-to-operate system combine the functionality of a goniophotometer with the features of a spectroradiometer for total radiant flux and angle dependent radiant intensity distribution. Full optical characterization of NIR LEDs, including angular intensity distribution diagrams, is available thanks to a dedicated GL GONIO SPECTROMETER system setup.
Center of excellence
As a result of a 2-year research project, finalised in 2020, GL Optic developed new calibration facilities and created Calibration and Research Laboratory of Optical Radiation ( CARLO ). Today, CARLO is the only laboratory in Central and Eastern Europe equipped with the Black Body Radiator – the primary standard source for implementation of spectral irradiance units. These types of reference standards are found only in the leading National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) in the world, such as NIST, PTB, NPL or VNIIOFI.
