Abstract
A system and method for optical alignment of a color imaging system includes illuminating a target plate with a laser beam. Photo-luminescent energy from the target plate is emitted in response to the laser beam. A color imaging system is aligned based on the photo-luminescent energy emitted at the target plate.
Claims34
A method comprising:
- illuminating a target part with a laser beam, said target part including zinc selenide which emits visible radiation in response to said laser beam;
- detecting said visible radiation with a visible radiation detector;
- and
- effecting an alignment operation of said visible radiation detector in relation to said laser beam as a function of said visible radiation detected by said visible radiation detector.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a laser beam generator for generating a laser beam;
- a target part positioned to be illuminated by said laser beam, said target part including zinc selenide which emits visible radiation in response to said laser beam;
- and
- a visible radiation detector which can detect said visible radiation to facilitate an alignment operation of said visible radiation detector in relation to said laser beam.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a first target part positioned to be illuminated by a laser beam, said first target part including zinc selenide which emits visible radiation in response to said laser beam;
- a second target part positioned to be illuminated by said laser beam, said second target part emitting infrared radiation in response to said laser beam.
