Uncertainty Evaluation of Two-Dimensional Horizontal Distributed Photometric Sensor Based on MCM for Illuminance Measurement Task.

In response to the demand for precise measurement of illuminance distribution in the quality control of LED monitoring fill light products and the iterative direction of secondary optical design, distributed photometric sensors have shown advantages, but their measurement uncertainty assessment faces challenges. This paper addresses the problem of uncertainty evaluation in photometric parameter measurement with a two-dimensional horizontal distributed photometric sensor and proposes an uncertainty evaluation framework for this task. We have established an uncertainty analysis model for the measurement system and provided two uncertainty synthesis methods, The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement and the Monte Carlo method. This study designed illuminance measurement experiments to validate the feasibility of the proposed uncertainty evaluation method. The results demonstrate that the actual probability distribution of the measurement data follows a trapezoidal distribution. Furthermore, the expanded uncertainty calculated using the GUM method was 21.1% higher than that obtained by the MCM. This work effectively addresses the uncertainty evaluation challenge for illuminance measurement tasks using a two-dimensional horizontal distributed photometric sensor. The findings offer valuable reference for the uncertainty assessment of other high-precision optical instruments and possess significant engineering value in enhancing the reliability of optical metrology systems.
