Abstract
Systems and apparatuses of operating the same are described. An apparatus that may include a light guide. The light guide may include a body configured to direct at least a portion of light within a defined wavelength spectrum from a first light source toward an object. The body may be formed of a material to provide a threshold contrast ratio between a first portion of the object and a second portion of the object. The body may include a first surface that includes a first cavity formed to receive at least a portion of an incident end the first light source. The body may include a second surface at a distal end from the light source. The second surface may be a peripheral diffusing portion or a peripheral focusing portion.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an object comprising:
- a first portion;
- a second portion;
- and
- a joint joining the first portion to the second portion;
- a first light source to transmit light toward the object;
- a first light guide approximate to an incident end of the first light source, the first light guide configured to:
- receive at least a portion of the light from the first light source;
- and
- guide at least the portion of the light within a defined wavelength spectrum toward the object at a first defined transmission pattern;
- and
- an light sensor to measure at least a portion of the light reflected from the joint of the object.
A light guide:
- a body configured to direct at least a portion of light within a defined wavelength spectrum from a first light source toward an object, the body being formed of a material to provide a threshold contrast ratio between a first portion of the object and a second portion of the object, the body comprising:
- a first surface includes a first cavity formed to receive at least a portion of an incident end the first light source;
- a second surface at a distal end from the light source, the second surface being a peripheral diffusing portion or a peripheral focusing portion.
A lighting device:
- a light source to transmit light toward an object;
- a light guide approximate to an incident end of the light source configured to:
- receive at least a portion of the light from the light source;
- guide at least the portion of the light within a defined wavelength spectrum toward the object at a defined transmission pattern;
- and
- provide a threshold contrast ratio between a first portion of the object and a second portion of the object.
