摘要: A highly efficient light extraction system for LED chip arrays, in which a multi-function domed lens overlays the LED chip array. A lower portion of the multi-function domed lens acts as a reflector, capturing wide-angle light emitted by the LED chips. An upper portion of the multi-function domed lens provides the function of a refractive lens. The multi-function domed lens provides improved light extraction efficiency over prior art embodiments, greater total light output, as well as a narrower light distribution pattern, with increased light intensity at the center of the beam.

摘要: Light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures are presented that use a low-pass filter to smooth out or eliminate discrete, step changes in LED light fixture brightness, that may result from the use of digital brightness level settings. Because some lighting applications require a fast response to changes in the set brightness level, and some applications require a slower response, one set of examples use a switchable RC low-pass filter circuit, with two or more selectable RC time constant values. Another set of examples use a programmable resistance integrated circuit to achieve a more continuously-variable time constant, for greater flexibility in adjusting the response time of the LED lighting fixture, in response to user brightness inputs. The user is able to control the maximum rate of change of the LED light fixture's brightness, in response to changes in the brightness setting.

摘要: Methods and techniques are presented to inhibit crystallization in optical waveguide structures, during high temperature annealing or deposition, thus preventing the formation of crystalline grains that scatter and/or absorb light. Dopant atoms or molecules are used to disrupt crystallization. The dopant atoms or molecules are selected to be transparent to the optical signal's wavelength range(s). Optical signals propagating in a waveguide that is fabricated with such techniques will experience reduced propagation loss or insertion loss. The passive dopants can also be used in active devices such as lasers or optical amplifiers that incorporate optically active dopants, as long as the passive dopants are chosen so that they do not interact with the active dopants.

摘要: Examples of electrical lamp fixtures for illuminating terrariums and stimulating the growth and health of reptiles, amphibians, and birds, and specifically to an improved, compact light emitting diode (LED) terrarium light apparatus are described. The lighting apparatus can incorporate one or multiple extended point source LED arrays, such as composed of high brightness LEDs of multiple wavelengths, that provide spatially and spectrally controlled light. A compact, high brightness LED terrarium light apparatus for reptiles and birds, comprises an array of multiple LED chips that provides visible light, ultraviolet light, and (optionally) infrared light, with separate control of the various spectral components.

摘要: A pin hole or aperture is located or formed adjacent to the end surface of one or more of the input ports or fibers, or adjacent to one or more of the output ports or fibers, of a fiberoptic component. The aperture allows light to enter (or exit) the core of the associated fiber, and the non-transparent layer that surrounds the aperture blocks light from entering or exiting the cladding layer of the associated fiber. This blocking of the evanescent field in the cladding layer serves to reduce the polarization, wavelength, and temperature dependencies of the light coupling to the output port(s) or fiber(s) of the optical component. It can also reduce the passband width of the selected wavelength in tunable optical filter applications. The non-transparent layer surrounding the aperture can be made reflective, and light that is reflected by the non-transparent layer can be used for optical power monitoring.

摘要: In-line uni-directional optical tap detector devices provide optical power monitoring in a small, inexpensive form factor. A pair of optical fibers with angled end surfaces are fusion-spliced or butt-coupled together, with a thin-film coating or coating stack positioned in between the two fiber end surfaces. The thin-film coating or coating stack acts as an optical tap, reflecting a small portion of the optical signal towards a photo-detector affixed to the exterior of the cladding of the fibers, positioned and angled such that the photo-detector measures the optical power of signals propagating in one direction down the fibers, while ignoring signals propagating in the opposite, or reverse direction. Alternately, a V-groove block or fiber holder is used to position and secure the fibers, without requiring fusion splicing, where the reflection of a portion of the optical signal to the photo-detector may be due to Fresnel reflection at the fiber end surfaces.

摘要: A tunable optical filter is described, utilizing a diffraction grating and a rotating mirror. By incorporating a phase screen, or the combination of a phase screen and a transmission amplitude-modulated mask, located in front of the rotating mirror, or possibly at other locations in the optical path, the selected wavelength's passband spectrum can be shaped in a variety of ways. In particular, the output spectrum of the tunable optical filter can be made flatter within the passband, while maintaining good isolation of adjacent channels or wavelengths.

摘要: A solid-state optical amplifier is described, having an active core and doped cladding in a single chip. An active optical core runs through a doped cladding in a structure formed on a substrate. A light emitting structure, such as an LED, is formed within and/or adjacent to the optical core. The cladding is doped, for example, with erbium or other rare-earth elements or metals. Several exemplary devices and methods of their formation are given.

摘要: Light of at least two wavelengths is collimated in a forward path towards a reflector and light of at least one of the wavelengths is focused and detected in a return path, using in both paths a lens unit including a first convex surface and a second surface. A diffraction element diffracts the collimated light of the at least two wavelengths into different wavelength components. The reflector is moved so that one or more of the different wavelength components will be focused by the lens unit in the return path and detected. The second surface reflects the light of the at least two wavelengths from an input port towards the first convex surface and the first convex surface collimates the reflected light of the at least two wavelengths in the forward path, or the first convex surface focuses the one or more wavelength components towards the second surface that reflects the one or more wavelength components to an output port in the return path. The first convex surface can be replaced by a GRIN lens performing the focusing and collimating functions.
