PURPOSE:To realize a low-cost and compact light source with a stable output in a simple structure by guiding irradiated light from a light-emitting element on a substrate to the other edge surface of the substrate and providing a waveguide path of light irradiated as a parallel light flux or focusing light flux. CONSTITUTION:Irradiated light from a light-emitting element 11 is enclosed into a light waveguide path 12 and one part of it is branched into a light Waveguide path is and is allowed to inside a light-receiving element 14. The remaining large part of light passes through a light waveguide path IG and is irradiated from the edge surface of the substrate. At this time, the light waveguide path itself acts as a lens and thus selecting a diffraction factor distribution and the length of light waveguide path 12 properly enables the irradiated light from the edge surface to be a parallel light flux. Branching of light and conversion (lens operation) into parallel light flux are performed within one substrate by light source configured this way.

LIGHT SOURCE ∗

Design of PEP-X high brightness light source machine is under development at SLAC. The PEP-X is a proposed replacement for the PEP-II in the existing 2.2 km tunnel. Two of the PEP-X six arcs contain DBA type lattice providing 30 dispersion free straights suitable for 3.5 m long undulators. The lattice contains TME cells in the other four arcs and 89.3 m wiggler in a long straight section yielding a horizontal emittance of ~0.1 nm-rad at 4.5 GeV. The recent lattice modifications are aimed at increasing the predicted brightness and improving beam dynamic properties. The standard DBA cells are modified into supercells for providing low- undulator straights. The DBA and TME cell phase advance is better optimized. Harmonic sextupoles are added to minimize the sextupole driven resonance effects and amplitude dependent tune shift. Finally, the injection scheme is changed from vertical to horizontal plane in order to avoid large vertical amplitudes of injected beam within small vertical aperture of undulators.

Research on food growth for long duration spacecraft has resulted in a light source for growing plants indoors known as Qbeam, a solid state light source consisting of a control unit and lamp. The light source, manufactured by Quantum Devices, Inc., is not very hot, although it generates high intensity radiation. When Ron Ignatius, an industrial partner of WCSAR, realized that terrestrial plant research lighting was not energy efficient enough for space use, he and WCSAR began to experiment with light emitting diodes. A line of LED products was developed, and QDI was formed to market the technology. An LED-based cancer treatment device is currently under development.

A super-radiant light source having an output with a low temporal coherence well suited, for example, to optical inertial sensor applications, includes a single mode optical waveguide such as an optical fiber having its core doped with an active laser material, such as neodymium. Pump light is coupled into the optical fiber at an intensity sufficient to produce a significant amplification of the spontaneous emission. The reflectivity at the exit end of the fiber is low enough so that even with a high gain for the light in one traverse through the fiber, the fiber is operated well below threshold for laser oscillation. The resulting emission is of high intensity, but has a low temporal coherence. In one form, the pump light is coupled into one end of the fiber and a dichroic filter is interposed in the light path between the pump light and the optical fiber to pass pump light into the core and reflect the spontaneous emission of the active material back into the core and toward the output.

In a first broad aspect, the invention provides a light source. The light source includes a semiconductor laser for emitting laser light at a first frequency. The light source also includes an optical fibre that includes a fibre Bragg grating. The fibre Bragg grating is optically coupled to the semiconductor laser for receiving the laser light, reflecting a reflected portion of the laser light towards the laser and allowing the transmitted portion of the laser light to pass through the fibre Bragg grating. The fibre Bragg grating has a temperature-dependant reflection spectrum. A frequency converting optical element is optically coupled to the fibre Bragg grating for receiving the transmitted portion of the laser light and converting at least a fraction of the transmitted portion of the laser light into a converted light having a second frequency different from the first frequency. An output port is optically coupled to the frequency converting optical element for outputting the converted light. A temperature controller is thermally coupled to the fibre Bragg grating for modulating a temperature of the fibre Bragg grating so as to modulate the reflection spectrum.
