摘要: An optical manifold for efficiently combining a plurality of LED outputs into a single, substantially homogeneous output, in a small, cost-effective package. The optical manifolds can be used to combine multiple LEDs of the same color and provide a high intensity output aperture with very high uniformity and sharp borders, or they can be used to generate a multiwavelength output, such as red, green, and blue LEDs that are combined to generate white light. Embodiments are also disclosed that use a single or multiple LEDs and a remote phosphor and an intermediate wavelength-selective filter arranged so that backscattered photoluminescence is recycled to boost the luminance and flux of the output aperture. The optical manifolds are designed to alleviate substantial luminance inhomogeneities inherent to LEDs. The optical manifold utilizes principles of non-imaging optics to transform light and provide directed, substantially uniform light sources.

摘要: An optical device is for spatially displacing the output of a light-emitting diode (LED) and coupling the output to a predominantly spherical emission pattern produced at a useftul height above the LED. The device is made of a transparent dielectric material, such as an injection-molded plastic. It comprises a lower transfer section that receives the LED's light from below and an upper ejector section that receives the transferred light and spreads it spherically. One or more LEDs. are optically coupled to the bottom of the transfer section, which operates by total internal reflection upon their entire hemispherical emission. One embodiment operates as a flashlight-bulb substitute with the ejector section radiating onto a parabolic reflector, which forms the beam. Thus hemisphencally emitting LEDs can be used in parabolic-mirror flashlights wherein these LEDs by themselves may be unsuitable for that role.

摘要: This invention consists of a highly efficient beamforming system of ring-lens elements that may be used in automobile headlights, flashlights, and for other lighting products. The lens captures most of the light from an omnidirectional source, so that light from a solid angular cone of nearly 4 steradians is utilized with little or no reliance on a metallic reflector. The surfaces of the lens elements may be formed integrally with a hot light source, such as an incandescent lamp, so that the filament of the light source is inserted directly into an internal cavity of the lens. The lens may also be formed in optical contact with a cold light source, such as a light emitting diode, to reduce Fresnel losses and increase light utilization efficiency. An integrated system of optical surfaces collects light, including downwardly-directed light, from the source to further increase light utilization to a high efficiency of 75-90%. The number of surfaces on the lens are at least three, and one or more of these surfaces use total internal reflection (TIR) to redirect the light. The lens may be formed in either a two piece construction or a one piece construction having an internal air gap. The lens may be made from silicone or a high temperature glass having a low thermal expansion coefficient.

摘要: An illumination system with a prescribed output pattern comprising a light source and an optical lens redirecting the light of the source into an output beam, the lens with multiple surfaces at least one of which has a shape that is not a surface of revolution, the shape generated by the following method: on the Gaussian sphere of directions of the output beam exiting the surface of the lens, in accordance with the prescribed output pattern, establish a first grid of equal-flux zones of solid angle; on a portion of the Gaussian sphere of directions of the light emitted from the source into the interior of the lens, establish a second grid with the same number of equal-flux zones of solid angles as the first grid, with a coordinate-system topology congruent with that of the first grid, such that the zones of the second grid are in one-to-one correspondence with the zones of the first grid, with the flux of each zone in proportion to its corresponding zone of the first grid, according to the local transmittance of the lens, with either of both of the grids being rotationally non-symmetric; by this correspondence define a flux-redistributing directional mapping function from the first Gaussian sphere to the second Gaussian sphere, whereby any light ray from the source can be assigned a direction in the output beam, according to the zone of the second grid into which the ray falls, so that the redirected ray falls in the corresponding zone of the first grid; establish one or more lens surfaces to redirect the source rays to the output rays, using the vector laws of refraction or reflection to derive a distribution of normal vectors for each surface; from the distributions of normal vectors, successively generate each lens surface, beginning with that nearest source and going outwards.

A base of the transfer section is optically aligned and/or coupled to the LED so that the LED's light enters the transfer section. The transfer section can comprises a compound elliptic concentrator operating via total internal reflection.
