Abstract
Described is a light emitting diode (LED) linear illumination system that includes a linear array of LED groups, high efficiency non-imaging optics and aberration corrected imaging optics. Each LED group can include one or more LEDs. The system provides uniform high intensity in near and far fields. System applications include machine vision and inspection of high reflectivity targets. Illumination can include one or more colors, including white light. The described system has improved thermal and optical performance and is generally more compact and lower in cost relative to conventional systems based on pre-packaged commercially available LED devices.
