Abstract: The apparatus is designed to maximize the laser beam diffusion for the harsh environment of horticulture through a light optimization design. The light optimization design is an optical flat back which has a center area sized to the laser beam diameter transmission width with an optical diffusion surface surrounded with a mirror surface for an internal secondary mirror to the optical flat front. The center area optical diffusion surface back expands the laser beam transmission and the internal reflections are reflected by the secondary mirror surface through the front of the apparatus. The invention is designed to have the front surface of the apparatus exposed to the harsh environment of horticulture.

Abstract: A rescue torch apparatus utilizes coherent and incoherent light sources to help firefighters navigate through smoke and fire filled environments. The rescue torch apparatus includes a coherent-light emitter, an incoherent-light emitter, an elongated body, a rotatable-activation mechanism, a portable power unit, and an inductive receiver. The incoherent-light emitter emits continuous light for general illumination or short bursts of light to activate photo-luminescent display panels worn by firefighters. The coherent-light emitter emits beams of coherent light that penetrate through smoke filled environments and outline obstacles. The elongated body houses and protects the coherent-light emitter and the incoherent-light emitter. The rotatable-activation mechanism allows for hands-free operation of the light sources. Power is provided by a portable power unit mated to an inductive receiver for wireless recharging.

Abstract: A system and method of generating perceived white light by laser. The system comprises a laser, a phosphoric substrate, and optionally a diffraction grating. In one embodiment, a blue laser beam from the laser penetrates the phosphoric substrate to create perceived white light in a Gaussian distribution appropriate for emergency lighting. In another embodiment, the blue laser beam is split into multiple beams by the diffraction grating. The multiple beams penetrate the phosphoric substrate to create perceived white light in a Gaussian distribution appropriate for emergency lighting.

Abstract: A laser lighting device provides a broad range illumination for an area, such as a smoke filled space, a hallway or an underwater environment with certain turbidity. This lighting device contains a laser diode as a light source and a diffraction grating that is able to diffract an input laser light beam generated from the laser diode into a plurality of output laser light beams with the cross section of the plurality of output laser light beams forming a pattern comprising a plurality of light spots. In addition, this pattern may be in a donut shape. That is to say, the power of a light spot formed by a zero order light beam is lower than other light spots' power. Further, this laser lighting device is used to provide lighting with depth perception and forward visibility.

Abstract: A method for detecting turbidity using coherent light uses a coherent light emitter such as a laser calibrated to emit a specific wavelength. A light sensor adjacent to the coherent light emitter monitors incoming light to detect the specific wavelength. The coherent light beam will not contact the light sensor unless reflected back to the light sensor, thus detecting the specific wavelength indicates turbidity caused by the presence of smoke, which reflects the coherent light beam back to the sensor. The magnitude of the specific frequency that is detected indicates the amount of smoke detected.

Abstract: A heat sink mount for a laser diode comprises three main components, a diode ring, a diode bed and a diode container. The diode ring comprises an inner hole that matches a metal stem part of the laser diode. The diode bed comprises a first part and a second part. The diode ring is fitted into the first part of the diode bed. The inner surface of the first part is tightly contacting the outer surface of the diode ring. The diode container comprises a part a and a part b. The diode bed is fitted into the part a of the diode container, via the gripping contact between the thread on the inner surface of the part a and the thread on the outer surface of the second part of diode bed. This heat sink mount has lower costs and higher heat dissipation efficiency.
