Publication number: 20230031892Abstract: An arrangement or a projection headlight with a modulator, in particular with a DMD, is disclosed. In this case, a projection lens of the arrangement not only images the image content of the modulator in the surrounding area, but also images the surrounding area on the modulator. The modulator can thus guide the imaging of the surrounding area to a camera and reflect light from a light source into the surrounding area.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2020Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Philip Pikart, Christian Gammer, Jan-Erik Kuenecke, Benjamin Dollinger

Patent number: 10670217Abstract: An illumination device includes a light source, a micromirror array having micromirror actuators, switchable in each case between an on state and an off state, an optical unit, and an optical sensor unit. The light is guided onto the array and proportionally at a respective one of the actuators in an on tilt position is reflected to an illumination application, and in an off tilt position is reflected to the optical sensor unit. The device is configured such that a first actuator, which is in an on state in the on tilt position, is brought to the off tilt position for a first test interval, and a second actuator, which is in an off state in the off tilt position, remains in the off tilt position for the first test interval. A radiation power incident on the sensor unit during the first test interval is detected by the sensor unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: OSRAM GmbHInventors: Christian Gammer, Benjamin Dollinger

Patent number: 10295135Abstract: A light module for providing polychromatic light is provided. The light module includes a wavelength conversion element, a first light source for emitting a first light beam in a first wavelength range, and at least one second light source for emitting a second light beam. The element is configured to convert primary light radiated in by the first light beam into a first conversion light and to convert primary light radiated in by the at least one second light beam into a second conversion light. At least the first conversion light and the second conversion light together form a third light beam. The module further includes a control unit configured for predefining a first luminous intensity for the first light source and/or a second luminous intensity for the at least one second light source depending on a measurement of the light color of the third light beam.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2018Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: OSRAM GmbHInventors: Christian Gammer, Reiner Windisch

Publication number: 20170314753Abstract: A lighting device for emitting illumination light includes an LED configured to emit light emitting diode radiation, a laser configured to emit laser radiation, and a phosphor element configured to at least partly convert the LED radiation and the laser radiation into a conversion light which at least proportionally forms the illumination light. The LED, the laser and the phosphor element are arranged relative to one another in such a way that during the operation of the lighting device on an incidence surface of the phosphor element in each case in the time integral the LED irradiates an LED irradiation surface with the light emitting diode radiation and the laser irradiates a laser irradiation surface with the laser radiation. The laser irradiation surface and the LED irradiation surface are free of overlap.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Christian Gammer, Sergey Khrushchev

Publication number: 20130027372Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a projection device for projecting useful data onto a projection surface. In this case, a first laser device generates radiation having a first wavelength and a second laser device generates radiation having a second wavelength. The spots of the respective beams are detected by a sensor device and fed to a drive device for the laser devices. Said drive device temporally shifts the drive signals relative to one another in such a way that a horizontal distance between the spots is minimized. Various embodiments furthermore relate to a corresponding method for projecting useful data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: OSRAM AGInventors: Christian Gammer, Jens Richter, Claus Seibert
