A non-contact method of measuring an insertion loss of a DUT connector is disclosed. The DUT connector has a first ferrule with a first optical fiber and a first end face. The method utilizes a reference connector having a second ferrule with a second optical fiber and a second end face. The method includes: axially aligning the first and second ferrules so that the first and second end faces are confronting and spaced apart to define a gap with an axial gap distance d; measuring values of the insertion loss between the first and second optical fibers for different gap distances d>0; and estimating a value for the insertion loss for a gap distance of d=0 based on the measured values of the insertion loss when d>0.

A method for creating a uniformity compensation look-up table is revealed. The method includes the following steps. First measure a plurality of areas on a plane users intend to make uniform to get a measured value of the respective area. Then get a central uniform estimate of a center of the plane. Also get a linear skeleton according to the position of one of the measured values and the position of the central uniform estimate. Next get a plurality of skeletal uniform estimates on the linear skeletons respectively by interpolation or extrapolation of the measured values, the central uniform estimate, and the distance between the position of the measured values and the center of the plane. At last get a plurality of planar uniform estimates on the plane in turn according to the skeletal uniform estimates of the two adjacent linear skeletons to establish the look-up table.

A low-voltage alternating current-based LED light with built-in cooling and automatic or manual dimming. As it is self-cooled with fan failure protection, the light can be safely run in conditions that are near-hostile to its operation, with little possibility of damage. The light is movable along the XY axes of a grid system and can be either fixed in position in the Z axis or can be movable up and down the Z axis. The light can be equipped with either manual dimming using a standard potentiometer, or with automatic dimming via sensors and local network connectivity. The device prevents line-voltage electric shocks as the input voltage is low-voltage AC; in embodiments, about the same voltage as a doorbell, and the input current is 3 A. The device is also self-cooled, and will shut down if its fan is not running so as to prevent thermal overloads.
