1. Field of the Invention
The present inventive subject matter relates to optical waveguides, and more particularly to optical waveguides for general lighting.
2. Background of the Invention
An optical waveguide mixes and directs light emitted by one or more light sources, such as one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs). A typical optical waveguide includes three main components: one or more coupling elements, one or more distribution elements, and one or more extraction elements. The coupling component(s) direct light into the distribution element(s), and condition the light to interact with the subsequent components. The one or more distribution elements control how light flows through the waveguide and is dependent on the waveguide geometry and material. The extraction element(s) determine how light is removed by controlling where and in what direction the light exits the waveguide.
When designing a coupling optic, the primary considerations are: maximizing the efficiency of light transfer from the source into the waveguide; controlling the location of light injected into the waveguide; and controlling the angular distribution of the light in the coupling optic. One way of controlling the spatial and angular spread of injected light is by fitting each source with a dedicated lens. These lenses can be disposed with an air gap between the lens and the coupling optic, or may be manufactured from the same piece of material that defines the waveguide's distribution element(s). Discrete coupling optics allow numerous advantages such as higher efficiency coupling, controlled overlap of light flux from the sources, and angular control of how the injected light interacts with the remaining elements of the waveguide. Discrete coupling optics use refraction, total internal reflection, and surface or volume scattering to control the distribution of light injected into the waveguide.
After light has been coupled into the waveguide, it must be guided and conditioned to the locations of extraction. The simplest example is a fiber-optic cable, which is designed to transport light from one end of the cable to another with minimal loss in between. To achieve this, fiber optic cables are only gradually curved and sharp bends in the waveguide are avoided. In accordance with well-known principles of total internal reflectance light traveling through a waveguide is reflected back into the waveguide from an outer surface thereof, provided that the incident light does not exceed a critical angle with respect to the surface.
In order for an extraction element to remove light from the waveguide, the light must first contact the feature comprising the element. By appropriately shaping the waveguide surfaces, one can control the flow of light across the extraction feature(s). Specifically, selecting the spacing, shape, and other characteristic(s) of the extraction features affects the appearance of the waveguide, its resulting distribution, and efficiency.
Hulse U.S. Pat. No. 5,812,714 discloses a waveguide bend element configured to change a direction of travel of light from a first direction to a second direction. The waveguide bend element includes a collector element that collects light emitted from a light source and directs the light into an input face of the waveguide bend element. Light entering the bend element is reflected internally along an outer surface and exits the element at an output face. The outer surface comprises beveled angular surfaces or a curved surface oriented such that most of the light entering the bend element is internally reflected until the light reaches the output face
Parker et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,613,751 discloses a light emitting panel assembly that comprises a transparent light emitting panel having a light input surface, a light transition area, and one or more light sources. Light sources are preferably embedded or bonded in the light transition area to eliminate any air gaps, thus reducing light loss and maximizing the emitted light. The light transition area may include reflective and/or refractive surfaces around and behind each light source to reflect and/or refract and focus the light more efficiently through the light transition area into the light input surface of the light emitting panel. A pattern of light extracting deformities, or any change in the shape or geometry of the panel surface, and/or a coating that causes a portion of the light to be emitted, may be provided on one or both sides of the panel members. A variable pattern of deformities may break up the light rays such that the internal angle of reflection of a portion of the light rays will be great enough to cause the light rays either to be emitted out of the panel or reflected back through the panel and emitted out of the other side.
A.L.P. Lighting Components, Inc. of Niles, Ill., manufactures a waveguide having a wedge shape with a thick end, a narrow end, and two main faces therebetween. Pyramid-shaped extraction features are formed on both main faces. The wedge waveguide is used as an exit sign such that the thick end of the sign is positioned adjacent a ceiling and the narrow end extends downwardly. Light enters the waveguide at the thick end and is directed down and away from the waveguide by the pyramid-shaped extraction features.
According to one aspect of the present invention, an optical waveguide body includes a first curved surface that extends between an input surface and an end surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The input surface has a first thickness disposed between the first and second surfaces and the end surface has a second thickness disposed between the first and second surfaces less than the first thickness.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a waveguide body includes a body of optically transmissive material having an input surface for light to enter the body of optically transmissive material along a light path. The body of optically transmissive material is curved and has an inflection region that extends transverse to the light path.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, a waveguide body comprises a body of optically transmissive material having an input surface for light to enter the body of optically transmissive material along a light path wherein the body of optically transmissive material is curved and has a plurality of inflection regions.
In accordance with a still thither aspect of the present invention, a waveguide includes a body of optically transmissive material. A plurality of LEDs is spaced about the body of optically transmissive material such that light developed by the plurality of LEDs is directed through an input edge surface of the body of optically transmissive surface. Extraction features carried by the body of optically transmissive material are provided for directing light developed by the plurality of LEDs out of the body of optically transmissive material.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, a coupling optic comprises a coupling optic body including a plurality of input cavities each defined by a wall wherein a projection is disposed in each cavity. Further, a recess is disposed in each projection and the recess of each projection is adapted to receive an associated LED.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and the attached drawings.
In general, the curvature and/or other shape of a waveguide body and/or the shape, size, and/or spacing of extraction features determine the particular light extraction distribution. All of these options affect the visual uniformity from one end of the waveguide to another. For example, a waveguide body having smooth surfaces may emit light at curved portions thereof. The sharper the curve is, the more light is extracted. The extraction of light along a curve also depends on the thickness of the waveguide body. Light can travel through tight curves of a thin waveguide body without reaching the critical angle, whereas light that travels through a thick waveguide body is more likely to strike the surface at an angle greater than the critical angle and escape.
Tapering a waveguide body causes light to reflect internally along the length of the waveguide body while increasing the angle of incidence. Eventually, this light strikes one side at an angle that is acute enough to escape. The opposite example, i.e., a gradually thickening waveguide body over the length thereof, causes light to collimate along the length with fewer and fewer interactions with the waveguide body walls. These reactions can be used to extract and control light within the waveguide. When combined with dedicated extraction features, tapering allows one to change the incident angular distribution across an array of features. This, in turn, controls how much, and in what direction light is extracted. Thus, a select combination of curves, tapered surfaces, and extraction features can achieve a desired illumination and appearance.
Still further, the waveguide bodies contemplated herein are made of any suitable optically transmissive material, such as an acrylic material, a silicone, a polycarbonate, a glass material, or other suitable material(s) to achieve a desired effect and/or appearance.
As shown in
The waveguide body 54 has a curved, tapered shape formed by a first surface 58 and a second surface 60. Light emitted from the light source 56 exits an output surface 62 of the coupling optic 52 and enters an input surface 64 at a first end 66 of the waveguide body 54. Light is emitted through the first surface 58 and reflected internally along the second surface 60 throughout the length of the waveguide body 54. The waveguide body 54 is designed to emit all or substantially all of the light from the first surface 58 as the light travels through the waveguide body 54. Any remaining light may exit the waveguide 54 at an end surface 70 located at a second end 68 opposite the first end 66. Alternatively, the end surface 70 may be coated with a reflective material, such as a white or silvered material to reflect any remaining light back into the waveguide body 54, if desired.
The curvature of the first surface 58 of the waveguide body 54 allows light to escape, whereas the curvature of the second surface 60 of the waveguide body 54 prevents the escape of light through total internal reflection. Specifically, total internal reflection refers to the internal reflection of light within the waveguide body that occurs when the angle of incidence of the light ray at the surface is less than a threshold referred to as the critical angle. The critical angle depends on the indices of refraction (N) of the material of which the waveguide body is composed and of the material adjacent to the waveguide body. For example, if the waveguide body is an acrylic material having an index of refraction of approximately 1.5 and is surrounded by air, the critical angle, θc, is as follows:
θc=arcsin(Nacrylic/Nair)=arcsin(1.5/1)=41.8°
In the first embodiment, light is emitted through the first surface 58 of the waveguide body 54 in part due to the curvature thereof.
As shown in
Further, the number, geometry, and spatial array of optional extraction features across a waveguide body affects the uniformity and distribution of emitted light. As shown in the first embodiment of the waveguide body 54 in

Yet another modification of the embodiment of
Further, the steps 94 may be used in conjunction with extraction features 76 that are disposed in the surfaces 98 or even in each step 94. This combination allows for an array of equally spaced extraction features 72 to effect a uniform distribution of light. The changes in thickness allows for a distribution of emitted light without affecting the surface appearance of the waveguide.
Extraction features may also be used to internally reflect and prevent the uncontrolled escape of light. For example, as seen in
In addition to the extraction features 72, 76, 94, 110, 113, and/or 114, light may be controlled through the use of discrete specular reflection. An extraction feature intended to reflect light via total internal reflection is limited in that any light that strikes the surface at an angle greater than the critical angle will escape uncontrolled rather than be reflected internally. Specular reflection is not so limited, although specular reflection can lead to losses due to absorption. The interaction of light rays and extraction features 102 with and without a specular reflective surface is shown in

A further embodiment comprises the curved waveguide body 274 of
In the case of an arc of constant radius, a large portion of light is extracted at the beginning of the arc, while the remaining light skips along the outside surface. If the bend becomes sharper with distance along the waveguide body, a portion of light is extracted as light skips along the outside surface. By constantly spiraling the arc inwards, light can be extracted out of the outer face of the arc evenly along the curve. Such an embodiment is shown by the spiral-shaped waveguide body 280 of

A still further embodiment of a waveguide body 600 is shown in
Light developed by the one or more LEDs is incident on the conical portion 620 and is diverted transversely through the base portion 602. The light then travels through the main light emitting portion 604 and out the inner curved surface 616. Additional detail regarding light transmission and extraction is provided in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/840,563, entitled “Optical Waveguide and Lamp Including Same”, incorporated by reference herein.
In either of the embodiments shown in
Other shapes of waveguide bodies and extraction features are possible. Combining these shapes stacks their effects and changes the waveguide body light distribution further. In general, the waveguide body shapes disclosed herein may include one or multiple inflection points or regions where a radius of curvature of a surface changes either abruptly or gradually. In the case of a waveguide body having multiple inflection regions, the inflection regions may be transverse to the path of light through the waveguide body (e.g., as seen in
Referring again to
If desired, light may be alternatively or additionally transmitted into the coupling optic 52 by a specular reflector at least partially or completely surrounding each or all of the LEDs.
As seen in
A central projection 614 is disposed in a recess 616 defined by the wall 606. The central projection 614 is, in turn, defined by curved wall sections 617a-617d. A further approximately racetrack-shaped wall 618 is disposed in a central portion of the projection 614 and terminates at a base surface 620 to form a further recess 622. The LED associated with the input cavity 602b in mounted by any suitable means relative to the input cavity 602b so that the LED extends into the further recess 622 with an air gap between the LED and the base surface 620. The LED is arranged such that light emitted by the LED is directed into the coupling optic 600. If desired, a reflector (not shown) may be disposed behind and/or around the LED to increase coupling efficiency. Further, any of the surfaces may be coated or otherwise formed with a reflective surface, as desired.
