Patent number: 8884507Abstract: A fiber-based reflective lighting device and a lighting device. The fiber-based reflective lighting device includes a source configured to generate a primary light, a mat of reflective fibers which diffusely reflects light upon illumination with at least the primary light, and a light exit configured to emanate the reflected light. The lighting device includes a housing, a source configured to generate primary light and direct the primary light into the housing, a reflective mat of fibers disposed inside the housing at a position to reflect the primary light, and a light exit in the housing configured to emanate the reflected light from the housing.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Research Triangle InstituteInventors: James Lynn Davis, Howard J. Walls, Karmann Mills, Vijay Gupta, Michael Kasper Lamvik

Patent number: 8851693Abstract: A stimulated lighting device for stimulatable light emission including a luminescent sheet including light stimulatable particles which emit secondary light upon receiving primary light. The lighting device includes a source configured to generate and direct the primary light obliquely onto the luminescent sheet, at least one reflector configured to reflect at least a part of the primary light and a part of the secondary light onto the luminescent sheet and configured to reflect at least a part of scattered primary light and a part of the secondary light from the luminescent sheet toward the light exit, and a light exit configured to emanate light as a combination of the primary light and the secondary light.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2010Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Research Triangle InstituteInventors: Michael Kasper Lamvik, James Lynn Davis

Publication number: 20130241435Abstract: A lighting device (100) includes a housing (104), a light converter (136), one or more light sources (132), and one or more optical waveguides (160). The housing includes a light exit (124) for outputting a combination of primary light (140) and secondary light (156,158). The light source emits a primary light beam of a primary wavelength. The optical waveguide includes an input end (162) optically coupled to the light source, and an output end (164) facing a housing interior (108) and positioned at an angle to an axial direction through the housing interior. The optical waveguide directs the primary light beam from the light source, through the housing interior and toward a luminescent material of the light converter. The luminescent material emits secondary light of one or more wavelengths different from the primary wavelength in response to excitation by the primary light beam. The light source may be mounted outside the housing interior so as not to obstruct light propagation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2011Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: RESEARCH TRIANGLE INSTITUTE, INTERNATIONALInventors: Michael Kasper Lamvik, James Lynn Davis, Brent Thomas Ward
