摘要： A compact high-brightness LED aquarium light fixture is described for use in illuminating aquarium tanks artificial light. The LED aquarium light uses a densely-packed array of high-brightness light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are not individually packaged, where the array behaves similarly to a point source of light. The LED chips are distributed laterally over an area, where the LED chips have light emitting surfaces for emitting light in directions transverse to said area, wherein the dimensions of the area do not exceed 25 mm. Adjacent chips of the array are preferably separated by less than about 0.2 mm. The extended point source LED array, with its lens and associated reflector, result in a concentrated light source that attractively illuminates the contents of the aquarium, and creates a desirable shimmering effect within the aquarium. The compact LED aquarium light does not block much of the top surface area of the aquarium, thereby allowing unimpeded access to the top of the aquarium for viewing the aquarium, and also for tasks such as feeding, tank cleaning, and other aquarium maintenance. The LED array contains a plurality of LED strings that may be separately controlled, thereby allowing the spectral content of the LED aquarium light to be varied, to facilitate desired aquarium viewing conditions, as well as promoting the growth, health, and other desired attributes of various forms of marine life such as marine plants, algae, and coral. Multiple wavelengths of LEDs may be used within each LED string, thereby allowing the ability to further optimize the spectral content of the LED aquarium light. Due to the compact size of the LED aquarium light, the light emitted at each of the multiple different wavelengths from the array is evenly distributed, when the objects being illuminated by the array are at a distance of less than about 3 feet or even less than 1 foot from the array. A clamp-on, flexible gooseneck mounting arrangement allows for the use of one or more compact LED aquarium lights with aquarium tanks of various sizes and dimensions.

摘要： This invention relates to the thermal management, extraction of light, and cost effectiveness of Light Emitting Diode, or LED, electrical circuits. An integrated circuit LED submount is described, for the packaging of high power LEDs. The LED submount provides high thermal conductivity while preserving electrical insulation. In particular, a process is described for anodizing a high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy sheet to form a porous aluminum oxide layer and a non-porous aluminum oxide layer.

摘要： The difficulties encountered in conventional LED multiple chip modules where wire bonding is used to connect the chips to electrodes can be overcome by using an interconnect to connect the chip to electrodes in a module where the interconnect is supported at points along its length other than at endpoints thereof, by a carrier either directly or indirectly. This improves reliability of the interconnect over conventional designs. Preferably, the contacts of the chips, and the electrodes are all within, or do not extend beyond, two parallel planes that are 400 microns apart for a compact design.

摘要： In an epitaxial structure of a solid state lighting system, electrical current injection into the active layer is used to excite the photon emission. The present invention employs a unique waveguide layer in the epitaxial structure for trapping the light generated by the active layer in the fundamental waveguide mode. Multiple photonic crystal regions located either outside or inside one or more current injection regions extract photons from the waveguide layer(s). This novel design optimizes the interplay of electrical pumping, radiation and optical extraction to increase the optical output to several times that of conventional LEDs. A transparent and conductive ITO layer is added to the surface of an epitaxial structure to reduce the interface reflection in addition to functioning as a current spreading layer. The present invention creates solid state lighting with high optical output and high power efficiency.

摘要： A soft solder flowing into the recesses of a semiconductor thin film LED provides: (a) increased bonding strength and better mechanical durability, (b) improved heat dissipation, (c) enhanced light extraction when the LED film is bonded to a new carrier. Annealing localized islands of absorbing metal creates an ohmic contact. Those isolated islands are inter-connected by a layer of a highly reflective metal. This design enables a significant absorption reduction within the LED device and leads to a significant improvement of light extraction. Additionally, the light extraction efficiency of an isotropic light emitting device is improved via surface shaping of the device by a 2D-array of micro-lenses and photonic band gap structure. For manufacturability purpose the making of micron-size lenses of the surface of the chip may preferably be performed as a final step, preferably with optical lithography.

摘要： An input light beam is deflected by a totally reflective surface of a corner prism towards another surface of the prism which is coated by a partially reflective coating. A predetermined percentage of the input power is reflected by this coating and the remainder transmitted therethrough. The reflected optical power is collected by an output fiber and the transmitted power is directed towards another coating which either totally or partially reflects such power to another output fiber to accomplish optical coupling.

摘要： Two fixed input optical fibers may be aligned with two movable output optical fibers. The two output fibers are moved by exchanging the positions so that either output fiber may be optically aligned with either input fiber. In another optical switch either one of two movable fibers may be optically aligned with either one of two fixed fibers by rotating the movable member. In yet another optical switch a movable fiber may be aligned with one of a number of fixed optical fibers by rotating the movable member using a stepping motor. The angular positions of the fixed fibers are such that the input fiber is optically aligned with any one of the fibers by rotating the input fiber by a number of steps of the stepping motor.

摘要： At least one diffraction element is used to diffract light of multiple wavelengths into different wavelength components. Instead of moving the diffraction element as in certain prior filters, light from the at least one element is reflected back towards the at least one element so that light is diffracted at least twice by the at least one element. The reflection is such that at least one selected wavelength component of said wavelength components will pass from an input port to an output port or to another device.
