Patent number: 12191623Abstract: A light emitting sealed body includes: a housing which stores a discharge gas and is provided with a first opening to which first light is incident along a first optical axis and a second opening from which second light is emitted along a second optical axis; a first window portion which hermetically seals the first opening; and a second window portion which hermetically seals the second opening. The housing is formed of a light shielding material which does not transmit the first light and the second light. An internal space is defined by the housing, the first window portion, and the second window portion and the internal space is filled with the discharge gas. The first opening and the second opening are disposed so that the first optical axis and the second optical axis intersect each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignees: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Energetiq Technology, Inc.Inventors: Akio Suzuki, Toru Fujita, Akinori Asai, Yusei Nagata, Shinichi Ohba, Takayuki Ohshiro, Matthew Partlow, Ron Collins, Stephen F.
