    摘要: An illumination source for use in projectors and the like. The illumination source includes a light source that generates a two-dimensional emission pattern having a light intensity that varies as a function of position in the emission pattern. A collector collects the light from the light source and illuminates an exit aperture therewith. The illuminated exit aperture has a two-dimensional emission pattern with a light intensity that varies as a function of position in a manner that is more uniform as a function of position than the emission pattern of the light source. An imaging optical element images the exit aperture onto a surface. The collector is preferably a compound parabolic concentrator or a compound elliptical concentrator. In one embodiment of the invention, a partially reflecting film is placed between the exit aperture and the imaging optical element. The partially reflecting film reflects light of a first polarization state back into the collector and transmits light of the orthogonal polarization state. In another embodiment of the invention, a quarter wave plate is introduced between the exit aperture and the partially reflecting film to further increase the radiance of the source.

    摘要: A light source for generating light that is collected by an optical system that collects light leaving the light source within a predetermined acceptance angle relative to an axis defined in relation to the optical system. The light source includes a plurality of LEDs mounted on a reflecting base. Each of the LEDs generates light that leaves that LED via a top surface, a bottom surface, and one or more side surfaces of the LED. The reflecting base has a reflective surface in contact with the bottom surface of each of the LEDs. Light leaving the side surfaces of the LEDs is reflected into the acceptance angle of the optical system by a plurality of reflectors. In one embodiment of the invention, the reflectors include a plurality of reflecting facets for reflecting light leaving the side surfaces of the LEDs. The facets may be part of the reflective base or separate objects located between the LEDs. In another embodiment of the invention, the reflectors include scattering centers located between the LEDs.

    摘要: A method for optimizing a dc operating drive current of a laser diode is presented. Lasers of a particular type are characterized in terms of the dependency of certain parameters on temperature and of the minimum bias current required for adequate laser speed. The minimum bias current is determined using the operating bias current minus the threshold current all normalized by the threshold current. For individual laser diodes, the threshold current and slope efficiency are obtained at various temperatures to allow calculation at operating temperatures of interest. The minimum laser bias current for speed can then be determined over the operating temperature range. This may be done by setting the optical power to the highest value calculated using this minimum acceptable bias criterion over the operating temperature range. The ac and dc laser driver current sourcing requirements may be computed to ensure laser and module compatibility.

    摘要: A light source having emissions in a plurality of spectral bands. The simplest light source according to the present invention is constructed from first and second light sources and a dichroic beam splitter. The first and second solid state light sources emit light in first and second bands of non or only partially-overlapping wavelengths. The dichroic beam splitter combines light from the first and second solid state light sources by passing light in the first band while reflecting light in the second band to generate light having a spectral content in the first and second bands. The solid state light sources are preferably arrays of LEDs, VCSELs, or edge emitting semiconductor lasers. A light source having improved radiance in the green region of the spectrum can be constructed by utilizing first and second solid state light sources that emit in different bands in the green portion of the spectrum. A white light source can be constructed by utilizing a third solid state light source and a second dichroic beam splitter and by choosing the emission bands of the light sources such that light leaving the second dichroic beam splitter is perceived as white by an observer when all three solid state light sources are emitting light. This light source has a radiance that is higher than the radiance of each individual solid state light source.
