摘要:
A white, single or multi-color light emitting diode (LED) includes a mirror for reflecting photons within the LED; a first active region, adjacent the mirror, including one or more current-injected layers for emitting photons when electrically biased in a forward direction; a second active region, adjacent the first active region, including one or more optically-pumped layers for emitting photons, wherein the optically-pumped layers are optically excited by the photons emitted by the current-injected layers, thereby recycling guided modes; and an output interface, adjacent the second active region, for allowing the photons emitted by the optically-pumped layers to escape the LED as emitted light.
摘要:
A device for supporting chromophoric elements comprises support means (1) for receiving, on an upper face (24), chromophoric elements (5) that can emit light under selected conditions, and means for concentrating light (3) to recover the light emitted by each chromophoric element (5) in a portion of the region around it and “deliver” that recovered light to a collecting device.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a system for optical detection of particles arranged in a viewing area suitable for being illuminated by radiation with a predetermined wavelength. The system includes an optical detector, and an assembly of metal plasmonic channels arranged in a single plane of which one end is close enough to the viewing area to allow optical information to be transferred from one end to the other of the channels. The channels are arranged such that the assembly forms an array for transferring optical information around the viewing area. The value of at least one spatial characteristic of the array is respectively lower and higher than the wavelength near the ends of the channels that are respectively close to and far away from the viewing area. The system includes an optical decoupler between the ends that are far away from the viewing area and the optical detector.

The system includes an optical detector, as well as an assembly of metal plasmonic channels arranged in a single plane and in which one end is close enough to the viewing area to allow optical information to be transferred from one end to the other of the channels. In the system, the channels are arranged such that the assembly forms an array for transferring optical information around the viewing area. The value of at least one spatial characteristic of the array is respectively lower and higher than the wavelength near the ends of the channels that are respectively close to and far away from the viewing area. The system includes an optical decoupler between the ends that are far away from the viewing area and the optical detecter. The present disclosure also relates to a device for optical detection of particles as well as to methods for manufacturing such a system and such a device.
摘要:
A frequency-selective light coupler-decoupler device comprising a component of photonic crystal structure in which there is formed a waveguide having at least one longitudinal edge with a small number of rows of periodic elements of the photonic crystal so as to form coupling zones between the waveguide and the outside of the photonic crystal at coupling frequencies that are determined in particular by the width of the waveguide and/or by the spatial period of the photonic crystal elements.
摘要:
A device for directional and wavelength-selective optical coupling formed in a photonic crystal (12) and comprising two parallel waveguides (14, 16) separated by a coupling zone (18) enabling a particular frequency to be extracted from a signal (30) injected in fundamental mode into one of the waveguide (14) and to recover said frequency at the outlet (34) of the other waveguide (16), extraction and injection being performed by coupling between fundamental and high order modes in each waveguide.
