  • Publication number: 20120277556
    Abstract: An apparatus for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring includes a light source for generating at least one ray of light, a beam splitter with a focusing function leads the light into an eyeball and focuses on the eyeball, a set of photo detectors for measuring optical rotatory distribution (ORD) information and absorption energy information of the reflected light reflected from the eyeball and transmitted through the first beam splitter to the set of photo detectors, and a processing unit. The processing unit receives and processes the ORD information and the absorption energy information to obtain an ORD difference and an absorption energy difference resulting from the light emitted from the light source and the reflected light transmitted to the set of photo detectors, and analyzes the ORD difference and the absorption energy difference to obtain a glucose information to read the blood glucose information.

  • Patent number: 7896510
    Abstract: A polarized light illumination device is described, which includes a light source, a polarizer, a reflector, and a polarized light converter. The light source generates light. The reflector is used for reflecting light generated by the light source towards the polarizer. The polarizer allows a first polarized light to pass through, and reflects a second polarized light. The polarized light converter reflects the light irradiated on the polarized light converter and performs a polarization conversion. A plane where the polarized light converter is located is substantially perpendicular to the polarizer.

  • Patent number: 7811810
    Abstract: A bioassay system is disclosed. The bioassay system may include a plurality of optical detection apparatuses, each of which includes a substrate having a light detector, and a linker site formed over the light detector, the linker site being treated to affix the biomolecule to the linker site. The linker site is proximate to the light detector and is spaced apart from the light detector by a distance of less than or equal to 100 micrometers. The light detector collects light emitted from the biomolecule within a solid angle of greater than or equal to 0.8 SI steridian. The optical detection apparatus may further include an excitation light source formed over the substrate so as to provide a light source for exciting a fluorophore attached to the biomolecule.

  • Publication number: 20080151551
    Abstract: A lens cap and an LED package structure using the same are provided. The lens cap includes a cap body made of a transparent material for being covered on a point light source. The cap body includes a first incident surface, which is a curved surface raised on a inner side of the cap body and refracts light emitted by the point light source into the cap body. A reflective surface is formed the outer side of the cap body and is opposite to the first incident surface, wherein the reflective surface reflects the light refracted by the first incident surface. A light-transmitting surface is formed on the outer side of the cap body, and the light reflected by the reflective surface is projected onto the light-transmitting surface to exit the cap body. Thus, the light is emitted towards the lateral of the lens cap along a horizontal direction.

  • Publication number: 20070153239
    Abstract: A light-beam generator and a projecting system having the light-beam generator are proposed in the present invention. The light-beam generator includes an optical element and a light-emitting diode, wherein the optical element further includes a non-spherical reflecting curved surface which at least has a focus. Also, the light-emitting diode is located at the focus of the optical element for emitting light to the reflecting curved surface to form a light beam which is guided in a specific direction. By such arrangement, an output efficiency of light beams can be improved and a heat dissipation requirement can be reduced. Additionally, the light-beam generator proposed in the present invention can be applied to a projecting system having illuminant with specific polarized directions, so as to eliminate various prior-art drawbacks.
