Abstract: An optical device and systems using an optical device are provided, where the optical device may be configured for collimating incoming light rays. The optical device may include a host medium substantially comprised of a transparent material and an array of substantially transparent structures embedded within the host medium. The structures of the array each include a convex side presented to the incoming light rays and a concave side that passes light rays through toward the output face of the host medium, collimating the rays. Multiple stages of arrays may be provided in the optical device, typically with lengthening aspect ratios and increasing indexes of refraction in a direction from the input face toward the output face. The systems may use the optical device for using an exterior light to illuminate an interior space in a building or to generate power.

Abstract: An emission enhancement structure having at least one energy augmentation structure; and an energy converter capable of receiving energy from an energy source, converting the energy and emitting therefrom a light of a different energy than the received energy. The energy converter is disposed in a vicinity of the at least one energy augmentation structure such that the emitted light is emitted with an intensity larger than if the converter were remote from the at least one energy augmentation structure. Also described are various uses for the energy emitters, energy augmentation structures and energy collectors in a wide array of fields, such as color enhancement, and color enhancement structures containing the same.

Abstract: A high efficiency daylight directing structure for application on fenestration deploys closely spaced macroscopic bars of transparent resin to eliminate different forms of glare. The spaced apart surfaces provide for efficient reflection of selective incident light, by TIR or metallic surfaces, via the ultra-smooth native surfaces from a mold or casting process. A close spacing is readily obtained in various attachment methods to boost efficiency. The fabrication method allows selective deposition of absorbing layers, such as by of painting/printing between alternating native optical surface to provide one way transparency at high angles of incidence. The bars are supported on at least one common planar surface by transparent support member with an optical quality adhesive material filling any imperfection in the bars common planar surface that form in fabrication.

Abstract: When daylighting into a building interior, this daylighting structure attenuates the brightness of a setting sun or a winter-time incoming light of small elevation angles, and causes the incoming light to be diffusely emitted toward the ceiling surface or into a deep portion of the indoor space domain regardless of the elevation angle thereof. An incoming light (E20) of 20° in elevation angle is caused to be diffusely emitted toward the ceiling surface on the internal upper side of the building through the refraction and reflection actions mediated by a light-transmitting material mounted in a horizontal direction opening of a wall. The light-transmitting material comprises: an outdoor region curved surface wherethrough the incoming light is refracted and let into the interior of the light-transmitting material in a focused form; a lower side reflection surface internally reflecting the refracted incoming light; and an indoor region curved surface wherefrom the internally reflected light is refracted and emitted toward the ceiling surface in a diffused form. Also disclosed are the installation wherein the light-transmitting material is inclined from the illustrated horizontal state, and the installation of a plurality of the light-transmitting materials, each in upper and lower directions and left and right directions.

Abstract: A daylighting slat (40) includes a daylighting plate (40) extending in one direction. The daylighting plate (40) includes: a transparent base material (41) having a curved or angled shape in a cross-section taken perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the daylighting plate (40); a plurality of transparent daylighting sections (42) at least in a first region (41Aa) of a first face (41A) of the base material (41); and gap portions between the daylighting sections (42), wherein each of the daylighting sections (42) has a side face in contact with one of the gap portions, a part of the side face serving as a reflection face where light incident to that daylighting section (42) is reflected.

Abstract: Solar light redirecting glazing units include light redirecting and light diffusing constructions. The solar light redirecting glazing units may include a glazing substrate, a visible light diffusing layer, and a light redirecting layer oriented such that incoming solar light contacts the visible light diffusing layer before contacting the light redirecting layer. The solar light redirecting glazing units may include a glazing substrate, a patterned visible light diffusing layer, and a light redirecting layer. The solar light redirecting glazing units may include two glazing substrates separated by an intervening space with a solar light redirecting layer disposed on one glazing substrate, and a visible light diffusing layer disposed on the other glazing substrate.

Abstract: A flexible sheet-form optical system, referenced to as a light redirecting fabric, which has a fabric-like behavior and light redirecting properties. The light redirecting fabric comprises a soft and flexible sheet of optically transmissive material, such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride. A surface of the flexible sheet includes a plurality of parallel slits having spaced-apart walls configured to reflect light by means of a total internal reflection. At least a portion of daylight incident onto the sheet is internally redirected at bend angles greater than the angle of incidence. Disclosed also are a method and apparatus for making the light redirecting fabric. The method includes steps of mechanical slitting of the flexible sheet with a blade, elastic stretch-elongation of the sheet along a direction perpendicular to the slits, and making at least a portion of the sheet elongation irreversible.

Abstract: Transfer tapes and methods of making transfer tapes are described. In one aspect, the transfer tape comprises a template layer having a structured surface; a backfill layer disposed on at least a portion of the template layer, the backfill layer having a microstructured surface opposite the structured surface; and a layer disposed adjacent the microstructured surface, wherein the layer disposed adjacent the microstructured surface has a refractive index that differs from the backfill layer. The microstructured surface together with the adjacent layer functions as a diffusive layer, or in other words a diffusive interface. Also described are microoptical glazing and methods of making microoptical glazing as well as insulated glazing units and methods of making insulated glazing units.
