    摘要: A lighting device may comprise a light emitting element and a reflector, the reflector comprising: a first opening surrounding the light emitting element and a second opening; reflector side walls forming the first and second openings, the reflector side walls divergently extending from the first opening away from the light emitting element to the second opening; and corner facets, wherein each corner facet is positioned over a corresponding reflector corner formed by an adjacent pair of reflector side walls at the first opening. In this way, a photosensitive work piece may be uniformly irradiated while mitigating under-curing and over-curing, and while reducing a coupling optics size and a distance between the light emitting elements and the work piece, thereby decreasing cure times and lowering manufacturing costs.

    摘要: A system and method for operating one or more light emitting devices is disclosed. In one example, an analog circuit outputs a voltage pulse to drive a voltage regulator in a way that may provide more consistent light intensity from the one or more light emitting devices over a range of requested lighting intensity levels.

    摘要: A device for UV curing a coating or printed ink on a workpiece such as an optical fiber comprises at least two UV light sources equally spaced around a central axis, each UV light source comprising a reflector and a cylindrical lens, and the UV curing device configured to receive a workpiece along the central axis. The reflectors are configured to substantially reduce the emitting angle of light from the UV light sources, thereby directing the light substantially through the cylindrical lenses, the cylindrical lenses focusing the light intensely along a surface of the workpiece.

    摘要: System and methods are disclosed in connection with a reaction at or below the surface of a work object, in the context of a fluid flow fostering the reaction. In some example embodiments, the reaction is fostered by (1) creating fluid flow of an inerting fluid over a surface during exposure of the surface to a predetermined type of light, (2) creating fluid flow comprising a reactive species that reacts with another species at or below the work surface in a predetermined manner and/or (3) creating a fluid flow comprising a catalytic species that catalyzes a reaction in a predetermined manner, e.g., during exposure of the surface to a predetermined type of light. In some example embodiments, a light source is employed that comprises a solid-state light source, e.g., a dense array of solid-state light sources. In at least one of such example embodiments, the reaction is a photoreaction associated with the light source.

    摘要: A device for UV curing a coating or printed ink on an workpiece such as an optical fiber comprises dual elliptical reflectors arranged to have a co-located focus. The workpiece is centered at the co-located focus such that the dual elliptical reflectors are disposed on opposing sides of the workpiece. Two separate light sources are positioned at a second focus of each elliptical reflector, wherein light irradiated from the light sources is substantially concentrated onto the surface of the workpiece at the co-located focus.
