Abstract

PURPOSE:To diffuse and radiate effectively even light traveling in a photoconductor cable in the form of a nearly parallel beam by employing a slanting surface or surface which is made concave inwardly to the photoconductor as the reflecting surface of a reflecting mirror provided at one end of the photoconductor. CONSTITUTION:The reflecting mirror 4 is formed in a concave shape at the inside of the photoconductor 1; when the light component propagating in the photoconductor 1 nearly in parallel to the photoconductor 1 is reflected by the mirror 4, it is made nonparallel as much as possible, and when the reflected light propagates as shown by an arrow B, it is caused to strike a light radiation 2 as much as possible. Therefore, the light admitted to the photoconductor 1 is radiated out of the photoconductor 1 efficiently.

When using solar energy, convert the light energy into other Jtz such as thermal energy or electrical energy.
It is clear that the most efficient way to use the light energy is to use it as light energy without converting it into energy flj, without any conversion loss. A person standing at such a straw point, focusing sunlight using a lens etc. into the integrated optical cable, and passing it through the optical fiber cable to the desired location ( ri '1M L, -1
At this point, the light is emitted from the guide cable.
(I have made several proposals regarding the use of solar energy and energy for other purposes.) When attempting to use solar energy for lighting as described above, the inside of the conductor cable must be used for U! The incoming light has directionality, and if the end of the optical conductor cable is cut and the light is emitted from the cut, the emission angle will be approximately 46° in the case of focused light. , it is quite narrow, and if you want to use thick light to illuminate the room uniformly, cut the end of the optical conductor cable as shown in 4, If the source is emitted from the cutting tube, it is not possible to perform a satisfactory 1! Many Jh8 proposals have been made for a light radiator that can uniformly illuminate a wide area by spreading the incoming light in a budding manner.

In the case of a double optical radiator, among the light components that are incorporated into the light guide 1 from the light guide 1 cable 8, the light component that is close to parallel to the light guide 1 is transmitted through the light guide 1. The light is not reflected by the surrounding wall, and even if it is reflected, the number of times it is reflected is very small, so there is a very low possibility that the light will hit the light emitting part, and the light reflected by the reflective mirror will also be reflected by the light guide l. Since the reflected light is substantially parallel to the light guide 1, there is a very small possibility that the reflected light will also hit the light emitting portion, and therefore, the light component that is substantially parallel to the light guide 1 cannot be effectively utilized.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art as described in 1-1. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. ,
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the reflecting mirror 4 may be
1, so that when the light component propagating in the light guide 1 substantially parallel to the light guide 1 is reflected by the reflection mirror 4, it is made to be as far as possible not parallel to the light component, and the light component is reflected by the light reflection mirror 4. The light propagates in the direction of arrow B (and hits as much light as possible on the light emitting part when cutting).
