摘要: A laser circuit has a current source for delivering current to a laser device. A pulse width modulation laser drive current is used, and the amplitude and duty cycle of the laser drive current is set in dependence on an estimated junction temperature. In this way efficiency may be kept high for different operating temperatures and a desired optical output power.

摘要: The one or more LED filaments (110) are arranged to form an inner space. At least one of the one or more LED filaments (110) is arranged as a LiFi transmitter. The LiFi device (100) further comprises a light sensor (120) arranged within the inner space. The light sensor (120) is arranged as a LiFi receiver. The LiFi device further comprises an envelope arranged to envelope the one or more LED filaments (110) and the light sensor (120). The one or more LED filaments (110) are further arranged such that the LED filament light is directed towards the envelope.

摘要: A lighting unit which includes a driver, a light source and a buffer capacitor of an auxiliary circuit (such as an independent active electronic circuit). The charging current allowed to flow to the buffer capacitor is controlled based on sensed currents flowing to the light source thereby to control the charging current of the buffer capacitor. In this way, large inrush currents caused by the use of a large buffer capacitor at the output of the driver can be avoided and the triggering of a fault detection mode within the driver can be prevented. Furthermore this circuit ensures that the driver is operated within the specification limits during start-up.

摘要: High-speed optical communication is very attractive to satisfy high throughput applications. In the meanwhile, it is also desirable to reduce the energy waste resulted from an idle state of the optical transceivers of the communication system. The present invention discloses that both the access point (1200) and the end point device (1100) can operate in at least two different operation states, a normal operation state and a low power state. The low power state is a default state, and the normal operation state is enabled only when a valid trigger is detected. To establish a high-speed optical link (60), the end point device (1100) first sends an optical trigger signal (50) to the access point (1200) in the low power state. The access pint (1200) switches to the normal operation state only when a valid trigger signal is identified after detecting the optical trigger signal (50).

摘要: A lighting circuit comprises a first light source arrangement and a second light source arrangement, of different types, in series. A driver delivers a controllable current to the light source circuit, with an adjustable DC component and an adjustable modulated component, for example an adjustable duty cycle of a superposed pulse width modulated component. This enables control of the contributions to the overall light output flux from the different types of light source.
