  • Patent number: 9640682
    Abstract: A device for emitting electromagnetic radiation includes at least one optical semiconductor element configured to generate electromagnetic radiation, at least one photodiode, and at least one beam splitter. The beam splitter is arranged relative to the optical semiconductor element and the photodiode in such a way that one portion of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the optical semiconductor element passes through the beam splitter and a further portion of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the optical semiconductor element is reflected by the beam splitter and is directed onto the photodiode.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 2, 2017
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Richard Fix, Patrick Sonstroem, Gottfried Doehler
  • Publication number: 20150001409
    Abstract: An optical assembly includes at least one optical semiconductor component which is configured for electroluminescence. The optical semiconductor component is further configured to generate electromagnetic radiation distributed around a radiation maximum. At least one short-pass edge filter is positioned in a beam path of the electromagnetic radiation. A limiting wavelength of the short-pass edge filter is greater than a wavelength of the radiation maximum by a predefined amount.

  • Publication number: 20140374778
    Abstract: An optical assembly configured to emit electromagnetic radiation comprises first and second electroluminescent semiconductor components positioned adjacent to each other. The first electroluminescent semiconductor component is transparent to electromagnetic radiation generated by the second electroluminescent semiconductor component, and the second electroluminescent semiconductor component is transparent to electromagnetic radiation generated by the first electroluminescent semiconductor component. The first electroluminescent semiconductor component and the second electroluminescent semiconductor component are configured to actuate independently of each other.
