| Title: |
High Intensity Laser or Diode-Based Lighting Apparatus Having Integrated Optics |
| Abstract: |
A high intensity lighting apparatus (400) includes an outer housing (402);
a curved support disk (414) having an array of diode or laser-based
integrated light source (410) attached thereto disposed within the
housing. Each of the light source (110) includes a tube (112) having a
laser or diode chip (111) at one end of the tube. The tubes each have at
least one concave shaped exit surface (113) on an end opposite the chip,
wherein the concave exit surface converges light emitted from each of the
light source to focal points within the housing (402). A shape of the
curved support disk (414) converges the respective focal points into a
light beam having a common focal plane (441). Adjustable secondary optics
(431) are disposed in the housing after the focal plane (441) for
creating various angles of transmission of the light beam. The laser can
be a diode laser, while the diode can be a light-emitting diode (LED).
