WAVELENGTH CONVERSION APPARATUS, LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS, AND PROJECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18343206 titled 'WAVELENGTH CONVERSION APPARATUS, LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS, AND PROJECTOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a wavelength conversion apparatus that converts light from one wavelength band to another. The apparatus includes a wavelength converter, a base, a light collector, a holding part, a rotary driver, and a support part.

  • The wavelength converter converts light with a first wavelength band into light with a different second wavelength band.
  • The light collector directs the light emitted from a light source into the wavelength converter.
  • The holding part securely holds the light collector.
  • The rotary driver rotates the holding part around an axis of rotation.
  • The support part is fixed to the base and allows the holding part to rotate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Optical communication systems: The wavelength conversion apparatus can be used to convert light signals from one wavelength to another, enabling compatibility between different optical communication systems.
  • Spectroscopy: The apparatus can be used in spectroscopic analysis to convert light into specific wavelength bands for analysis and measurement.
  • Medical imaging: The wavelength conversion apparatus can be utilized in medical imaging devices to convert light into specific wavelengths for enhanced imaging capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Incompatibility between different optical systems: The wavelength conversion apparatus allows for the conversion of light between different wavelength bands, enabling compatibility between different optical systems.
  • Limited availability of specific wavelength bands: The apparatus provides the ability to convert light into specific wavelength bands, allowing for a wider range of applications in various fields.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Versatility: The wavelength conversion apparatus can convert light into different wavelength bands, providing flexibility in various applications.
  • Improved compatibility: The ability to convert light between different wavelength bands enables compatibility between different optical systems.
  • Enhanced imaging capabilities: The apparatus allows for the conversion of light into specific wavelength bands, which can enhance imaging capabilities in fields such as medical imaging and spectroscopy.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wavelength conversion apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a wavelength converter that converts first light emitted from a light source and having a first wavelength band into second light having a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band, a base to which the wavelength converter is fixed, a light collector that causes the first light emitted from the light source to enter the wavelength converter, a holding part that holds the light collector, a rotary driver that rotates the holding part around an axis of rotation, and a support part that is fixed to the base and rotatably supports the holding part, the optical axis of the light collector is separated from the axis of rotation of the holding part, the optical axis of rotation of the holding part is parallel to the axis of rotation of the holding part.
