APPARATUS FOR INSPECTING, ADJUSTING AND CONVERGING OPTICAL AXES OF CHANNELS OF MULTICHANNEL DEVICES AND BROADBAND RADIATOR IN VISIBLE AND INFRARED REGIONS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01B11/27 G01M11/00 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to work with devices operating in different spectral ranges. The device includes a collimator in whose focal plane there is a broadband radiator with a spectral range in the visible and infrared regions, an optical image transfer system which is equipped with a rotary mechanism which enables to direct radiation from the collimator to channels of the controlled device without changing the position of the collimator, and a mechanism for adjusting the position of radiator in the focal plane of the collimator relative its optical axis. The optical image transfer system is in form of mirrors placed perpendicular to each other such that the distance between then can be changed. The radiator has a housing made of heat-conducting material with a pinhole, said housing accommodating a thermal module and a lighting and heating board on which is mounted a visible radiation source which is optically interfaced with the pinhole. One surface of the thermal module is attached to the inner wall of the housing to provide thermal contact. The lighting and heating board is attached to the second surface of the thermal module to provide thermal contact.

EFFECT: simple design, high accuracy of inspection, adjustment and converging optical axes of channels.
