摘要： An illumination system for biological applications, wherein the system employs at least one nanostructured optical fiber. The fiber is preferably wound around a support structure to form a light-source fiber portion where guided light is scattered from the fiber outer surface to form an extended light source that emits substantially uniform radiation. The bends in the light-source fiber portion are formed to enhance the amount of scattering in the nanostructured fiber. Counter-winding the at least one fiber serves to increase the uniformity of the radiation by countering the effects of decreasing emitted radiation along the length of the light-source fiber portion. Multiple fibers wound in sequence around a support structure, with each fiber coupled to the light source, can be used to form a lengthy extended source. The light-source fiber portion can be configured to suit a variety of biological chamber geometries.

摘要翻译： 一种用于生物应用的照明系统，其中该系统采用至少一个纳米结构光纤。 优选地，光纤缠绕在支撑结构上以形成光源光纤部分，其中被引导的光从光纤外表面散射以形成发射基本上均匀的辐射的延伸光源。 形成光源纤维部分中的弯曲以增加纳米结构纤维中的散射量。 通过抵消沿着光源光纤部分的长度减少发射辐射的效果，反缠绕至少一根光纤用于增加辐射的均匀性。 依次缠绕在支撑结构周围的多根光纤，每根光纤都耦合到光源，可以用来形成冗长的扩展源。 光源光纤部分可以被配置为适合各种生物室几何形状。
