Abstract

PURPOSE:To couple a light with an optical fiber highly efficiently by a method wherein a light transmitting plate is provided between an LED chip and a spherical lens to arrange the light emitting plane of the chip at the position farther than the focus of the lens and the light is converged within a limited distance and the optical fiber is provided at the position where the light is converged. CONSTITUTION:A transparent glass plate 9 with a refractive index of about 1.5 is bonded and fixed on an LED chip 4 with an adhesive layer 8 such as an epoxy resin layer in between and a spherical lens 7 with a refractive index of about 1.5 and a radius (r)=100mum is bonded and fixed on the glass plate 9 with an epoxy resin layer 6 in between. As the light emitting plane and the focus of the lens is alienated by the transparent glass plate 9 provided between the LED chip 4 and the spherical lens 7, the light transmitted through the spherical lens 7 forms an image at a predetermined position. With this constitution, if an optical fiber is provided at this position to accept the light, light loss can be reduced and coupling efficiency with the optical fiber can be improved.

A surface-emitting LED is mounted on the stem 1.

That is, if the light emitting surface of the LED chip 4 is sufficiently small compared to the ball lens 7, the light from the chip 4 will become parallel light, but since the actual lens diameter is only 2 to 3 times the light emitting diameter, the light will spread out. I end up. As a result, the coupling efficiency with the optical fiber deteriorates.

As mentioned above, in the case of an LED lamp using a ball lens,
If the light emitting surface is an ideal point light source, it is possible to convert the light into parallel light; however, in reality, the size of the light emitting surface is often not sufficiently small compared to the lens. Therefore,
Even if the light-emitting surface is set near the focal point, the light cannot be focused sufficiently; rather, the amount of light incident on a certain finite area can be increased by setting the light-emitting surface farther away than the focal point.

Therefore, in the present invention, a light-transmitting plate is interposed between the LED chip and the spherical lens, and the light-emitting surface is placed farther than the focal point of the lens. By installing optical fibers, we decided to efficiently couple light into the optical fibers.
