Patents by Inventor Niko Schultz

Niko Schultz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9738828
    Abstract: An optical converter for producing colored or white light from blue excitation light is provided. The converter has good scattering properties to be able to produce nearly white light from the scattered blue light components and the scattered, converted yellow light components. The optical converter includes material including one or more of a YAG ceramic, a LuAG ceramic, and a magnesium-aluminum ceramic exhibiting strong scattering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: SCHOTT AG
    Inventors: Volker Hagemann, Peter Nass, Yvonne Menke, Bernd Hoppe, Wolfram Beier, Rainer Liebald, Niko Schultz, Guenter Weidmann, Hauke Esemann

  • Patent number: 7939339
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for fluorescence amplification including a substrate, a fluorescence amplifier coating applied to the substrate, and a thin fluorescencable material which lies on the coating and emits light with the emission wavelength ?E when it is exposed to excitation light of an excitation wavelength ?A. The fluorescence amplifier coating includes an interference layer system of high-index and low-index dielectric layers, which reflects at least the excitation light. What is crucial for the design of the coating is that the fluorescencable material applied to the coating is arranged on the surface of the coating in the region of the maximum of the electric field amplitude of the standing wave with the excitation wavelength ?A, which is formed during exposure to the excitation light.
