Abstract: A light coupling element including a groove and a light redirecting member is described. The groove is for receiving and aligning an optical waveguide and incudes an open front end and a back end. The light redirecting member includes an input side for receiving light from an optical waveguide received and supported in the groove and a light redirecting side for changing a direction of light received from the input side. The groove may include a bottom surface extending between the front and back ends of the groove and including a raised bottom surface portion raised upwardly relative to an unraised bottom surface portion. The unraised bottom surface portion of the bottom surface may be disposed between the raised bottom surface portion of the bottom surface and the input side of the light redirecting member. Optical coupling assemblies including the light coupling element and an optical waveguide are described.

Abstract: An arrangement of light sources is attached to a semiconductor wavelength converter. Each light source emits light at a respective peak wavelength, and the arrangement of light sources is characterized by a first range of peak wavelengths. The semiconductor wavelength converter is characterized by a second range of peak wavelengths when pumped by the arrangement of light sources. The second range of peak wavelengths is narrower than the first range of peak wavelengths. The semiconductor wavelength converter is characterized by an absorption edge having a wavelength longer than the longest peak wavelength of the light sources. The wavelength converter may also be used for reducing the wavelength variation in the output from an extended light source.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) has various LED layers provided on a substrate. A multilayer semiconductor wavelength converter, capable of converting the wavelength of light generated in the LED to light at a longer wavelength, is attached to the upper surface of the LED by a bonding layer. One or more textured surfaces within the LED are used to enhance the efficiency at which light is transported from the LED to the wavelength converter. In some embodiments, one or more surfaces of the wavelength converter is provided with a textured surface to enhance the extraction efficiency of the long wavelength light generated within the converter.

The polymeric portion includes a groove for receiving and supporting an optical fiber having opposing open front and back ends. A light redirecting member includes an input surface for receiving light from the optical fiber and a light redirecting side. The open back end of the groove and the input surface define a recessed region therebetween. The glass portion includes an optically transparent glass insert disposed in the recessed region conforming in shape to an internal shape of the recessed region. An optical fiber is received and supported in the groove. The optical fiber includes a fiber end laser welded to the glass insert so that a central light ray from the optical fiber propagates through the glass insert before being received and redirected by the light redirecting side.

Abstract: A light coupling element including a plurality of waveguide attachment features and a light redirecting member is described. Each attachment feature has an entrance end opposite a terminal end. The entrance ends are arranged at a pitch Pe. The light redirecting member is disposed closer to the terminal ends, and farther from the entrance ends, and includes an input surface, a reflecting side and an exit surface. When a waveguide is attached at each attachment feature, a central light ray emitted by each waveguide enters the light redirecting member through the input surface, is redirected by the reflecting side and exits the light redirecting member at the exit surface, the central light ray intersecting the exit surface at an exit point, each attachment feature corresponding to a different exit point at the exit surface. The exits points are arranged at a pitch Px not equal to Pe.
