- Japanese Patent Publication Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-48704 (Publication Date: February 15, 2002)”
- Patent Document 1 employs an optical system in which the radiation directions from a halogen lamp and a xenon lamp that are light sources both diverge. Therefore, when irradiating the irradiation surface with both lights, it is difficult to obtain the uniformity of the light distribution on the irradiation surface. That is, there is a difficulty in the homogenization performance of the pseudo sunlight irradiated by the irradiation device.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a simulated sunlight irradiation apparatus that irradiates an irradiation surface with simulated sunlight having a uniform irradiation distribution.

- the simulated sunlight irradiation device synthesizes the first light and the second light and irradiates the irradiated surface as simulated sunlight through the light guide plate.
- the light emitted from the light selecting means is not incident on the light guide plate as it is, but is once incident on the light transmitting means.
- the light transmitting means has a structure in which the width gradually decreases from the incident surface toward the output surface. With this structure, the radiation directivity of light passing through the inside is changed from a random one to a certain one.
- the light incident on the light guide plate has the same radiation directivity for both the first light component and the second light component. Therefore, the light reflected by the light reflecting means inside the light guide plate reaches the irradiation surface as pseudo-sunlight while maintaining the uniformity of the irradiation distribution.

- Embodiment 1 An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
- the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30 that irradiates the irradiation surface 12 with simulated sunlight will be described in detail.
- the artificial sunlight is a kind of artificial light and has an emission spectrum that is similar to the emission spectrum of natural light (sunlight).
- the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30 of the present embodiment irradiates synthetic light of xenon light and halogen light as simulated sunlight.
- a solar cell is disposed on the irradiation surface.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a main configuration of a simulated solar light irradiation device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a part of the simulated solar light irradiation device 30.
- the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30 includes a xenon light source 1 (first light source), a halogen light source 2 (second light source), a reflector 3, a reflector 4, a taper coupler 5, and an air mass filter 5a (first light source).
- the xenon light source 1 is provided inside the reflector 3 and irradiates xenon light (first light) having a predetermined emission spectrum.
- the xenon light source 1 is a tubular xenon lamp having a length in the depth direction of the drawing.
- the number of the light sources 1 may be one or plural.
- the reflector 3 has a bell-shaped cross section, and collects light emitted from the xenon light source 1 toward the light exit surface.
- a light reflecting portion 14 is connected to the light emitting surface of the reflector 3.
- the light reflecting portion 14 is a kind of prism, reflects light from the xenon light source 1 in a substantially right angle direction, and guides it to one end of the taper coupler 5.
- the halogen light source 2 is provided inside the reflector 4 and irradiates halogen light having a predetermined emission spectrum (second light different from the first light).
- the halogen light source 2 is a tubular halogen lamp having a length in the depth direction of the drawing.
- the number of the light sources 2 may be one or plural.
- the reflector 4 has a bell-shaped cross section, and collects the light emitted from the halogen light source 2 toward the light exit surface.
- One end of the taper coupler 6 is connected to the light emitting surface. Therefore, the reflector 4 guides the light from the halogen light source 2 to one end of the taper coupler 6 as it is.
- the taper coupler 5 is formed of a light guide, is elongated, and has a light incident surface and an output surface.
- the taper coupler 5 guides the xenon light incident on the incident surface to the output surface. At that time, it has a role of changing the radiation directivity of the incident xenon light.
- the taper coupler 6 is formed of a light guide, is elongated, and has a light incident surface and an output surface.
- the taper coupler 6 is disposed in parallel with the taper coupler 5 and guides the halogen light incident on the incident surface to the output surface. In that case, it has a role which changes the radiation directivity of halogen light.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the structures of the taper coupler 5 and the taper coupler 6.
- the taper coupler 5 has a structure in which the width (short axis) of the light guide gradually decreases from one end (light incident surface) to the other end (light output surface).
- the xenon light immediately after entering from the incident surface of the taper coupler 5 is randomly scattered in the radiation direction.
- the radiation direction changes so as to be aligned in a certain direction.
- the taper coupler 6 has a structure in which the width of the light guide (short axis) gradually decreases from one end (light incident surface) to the other end (light output surface). Therefore, the radiation direction of the halogen light incident on the taper coupler 6 changes so that the random light at the time of incidence is aligned in a certain direction at the time of emission.
- An air mass filter 5 a is disposed at the other end (outgoing surface) of the taper coupler 5.
- the air mass filter 5a has transmission characteristics optimized for the emission spectrum of xenon light. Thereby, the emission spectrum of the xenon light emitted from the emission surface of the taper coupler 5 is adjusted.
- the xenon light that has passed through the air mass filter 5a is directed to the wavelength selection mirror 7 that is disposed at an angle of 45 degrees with the air mass filter 5a.
- the wavelength selection mirror 7 reflects the short wavelength side of the xenon light and guides it to one end (incident surface) of the taper member 8.
- An air mass filter 5 b is disposed at the other end (outgoing surface) of the taper coupler 6.
- the air mass filter 5b has a transmission characteristic optimized for the emission spectrum of halogen light. Thereby, the emission spectrum of the halogen light emitted from the taper coupler 6 is adjusted.
- the halogen light that has passed through the air mass filter 5 b is incident on the reflection mirror 10.
- the reflection mirror 10 is a kind of prism, and reflects all incident light toward the wavelength selection mirror 7 using internal reflection. Since internal reflection is used, the radiation directivity of the halogen light emitted from the reflection mirror 10 is maintained as it was before incidence.
- the wavelength selection mirror 7 transmits the long wavelength side of the halogen light coming from the reflection mirror 10 and guides it to the taper member 8.
- the xenon light and the halogen light are synthesized and incident on the taper member 8 by the selective action of the wavelength selection mirror 7. Specifically, the short wavelength side of the xenon light and the long wavelength side of the halogen light are selected by the wavelength selection mirror 7, and both are combined to become combined light, which is guided to the incident surface of the taper member 8. At this time, a component of 750 nm or less is selected as the short wavelength side of the xenon light. On the other hand, a component of 750 nm or more is selected as the long wavelength side of the halogen light. By selecting a component of 750 nm or less, a strong emission line component included in the emission spectrum of light emitted from the xenon light source 1 can be removed. Thereby, the effect of facilitating the design of the air mass filter can be obtained.
- the taper member 8 is composed of a light guide, and the width of the light guide (the short axis of the taper member 8) gradually increases from one end (light incident surface) to the other end (light output surface). Take a decreasing structure. In other words, the cross-sectional area of the taper member 8 in the minor axis direction gradually decreases from the incident surface of the taper member 8 toward the output surface.
- the width of the light guide body decreases linearly, but it is not limited to this. It may be a curvilinear decrease and a staircase decrease. In any case, the width (area) of the entrance surface of the taper member 8 is larger than the width (area) of the exit surface.
- the difference between the width of the entrance surface and the width of the exit surface is preferably 17 mm or less.
- the full length of the taper member 8 is 300 mm or less. Even when this condition is satisfied, light leakage from the taper member 8 can be suppressed.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing how light is reflected inside the taper member 8.
- the distribution of the radiation angle of the light that has passed through the taper member 8 changes due to such repeated reflection. Since the combined light of the xenon light and the halogen light is incident on the taper member 8, the radiation angle changes in both. As a result, the radiation directivity of xenon light and the radiation directivity of halogen light substantially coincide with each other.
- FIG. 5A is a diagram showing the distribution of the radiation directivity of xenon light before entering the taper coupler 5
- FIG. 5B is the distribution of the radiation directivity of xenon light after exiting the taper member 8.
- FIG. 6A is a diagram showing the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light before entering the taper coupler 6
- FIG. 6B is the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light after being emitted from the taper member 8.
- the distribution of the radiation directivity of xenon light and the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light are different from each other before entering the taper member 8. That is, the former has one peak and the latter has two peaks.
- the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30 finally irradiates the simulated sunlight (the combined light of xenon light and halogen light) from the surface of the light guide plate 9 toward the irradiation surface 12.
- a light reflection mechanism inside the light guide plate 9 is used.
- a plurality of scattering grooves 11 each having a property of reflecting light are provided inside the light guide plate 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the light incident on the inside of the light guide plate 9 is reflected by the scattering grooves 11 and guided toward the irradiation surface 12.
- the uniformity of illuminance can be improved to some extent by devising the pitch and shape of the scattering grooves 11.
- these pitches and shapes need to be optimized according to the radiation directivity of light incident on the light guide plate 9 in the first place. Therefore, when two types of light having different radiation directivities (xenon light and halogen light) are incident on the light guide plate 9, it is difficult to optimize the light in accordance with the radiation directivities of the respective lights.
- one end of the light guide plate 9 is connected to the emission surface of the taper member 8. Therefore, the combined light having a uniform radiation directivity emitted from the taper member 8 is guided into the light guide plate 9.
- the pseudo-sunlight irradiation device 30 can irradiate the irradiation surface 12 with light (xenon light and halogen light) that has passed through different optical systems, all in the form of uniform radiation directivity. Therefore, the uniformity of the illuminance distribution of the light irradiated on the irradiation surface 12 can be further improved.
- the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30 includes two optical system sets each including an optical system of xenon light and an optical system of halogen light. One set is provided at one end (left side in FIG. 1) of the pseudo-sunlight irradiation device 30, and the other set is provided at the other end (right side in FIG. 1).
- the intensity of the pseudo-sunlight irradiated from the pseudo-sunlight irradiating device 30 when one of the lights from the respective optical system sets is incident on one end of the light guide plate 9 and the other is incident on the other end of the light guide plate 9. Can be further enhanced.
- the position of the xenon light optical system and the position of the halogen light optical system may be the reverse of the configuration shown in FIG.
- the wavelength selection mirror 7 reflects the long wavelength side of the halogen light emitted from the air mass filter 5a and guides it to the taper member 8, and transmits the short wavelength side of the xenon light emitted from the air mass filter 5b to taper the member. Lead to 8. That is, the wavelength selection mirror 7 only needs to have a characteristic of reflecting or transmitting the short wavelength side of xenon light and the long wavelength side of halogen light.
- the irradiation surface 12 has a certain spread in the depth direction of the paper. Therefore, the simulated solar light irradiation device 30 shown in FIG. 1 can be configured by arranging a plurality of optical system sets in the depth direction of the paper according to the area of the irradiation surface 12.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a main configuration of a simulated solar light irradiation device 30a according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of a part of the simulated solar light irradiation device 30a.
- the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30a includes a cube-shaped wavelength selection mirror 16 and a coupler 17 in addition to the members included in the simulated sunlight irradiation device 30 according to the first embodiment. Yes.
- the xenon light source 1 and the reflector 3 are disposed at a position away from the light reflecting portion 14 to prevent stray light.
- the coupler 17 is provided between the reflector 3 and the light reflecting portion 14.
- the coupler 17 is composed of a light guide, passes the xenon light incident from the reflector 3, and emits it to the light reflecting portion 14.
- the light reflecting unit 14 reflects the xenon light incident from the coupler 17 and emits the reflected light to the incident surface of the taper coupler 5.
- the cube-shaped wavelength selection mirror 16 has a structure in which 45 ° reflection type prisms are attached to both surfaces of the wavelength selection mirror 7 described above.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of the bent portion.
- the coupler 17, the light reflecting portion 14, and the taper coupler 5 form one bent portion. All of these members are made of a light guide such as glass.
- One end (exit surface) of the coupler 17 is bonded to one surface (incident surface) of the light reflecting portion 14, and one end (incident surface) of the taper coupler 5 is bonded to the other surface (exit surface) of the light reflecting portion 14. Yes.
- This structure causes the problem shown in FIG.
- the light 18 transmitted through the coupler 17 does not enter the incident surface of the taper coupler 5 because of insufficient reflection.
- the light 19 transmitted through the coupler 17 does not strike the reflecting surface of the light reflecting portion 14 and therefore does not enter the incident surface of the taper coupler 5. That is, both the lights 18 and 19 become lost light that leaks from the bent portion. The generation of such lost light causes a problem that the radiation directivity of the xenon light is disturbed in the bent portion.
- this problem is addressed by the cube-shaped wavelength selection mirror 16. Since 45 ° prisms are attached to the cube-shaped wavelength selection mirrors 16 respectively, an effect of making the light reflectance uniform on the upper and lower surfaces thereof is produced. By this effect, it is possible to prevent the radiation directivity disturbance generated in the bent portion from further expanding.
- FIG. 10A is a diagram showing the distribution of the radiation directivity of xenon light before entering the taper coupler 5
- FIG. 10B is the distribution of the radiation directivity of xenon light after exiting the taper member 8.
- FIG. 11A is a diagram showing the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light before entering the taper coupler 6, and
- FIG. 11B is the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light after exiting the taper member 8.
- FIG. 10A is a diagram showing the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light before entering the taper coupler 6
- FIG. 11B is the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light after exiting the taper member 8.
- the xenon light radiation directivity distribution and the halogen light radiation directivity distribution are different from each other before entering the taper member 8. That is, the former has one peak and the latter has two peaks. If both lights (exactly combined light of xenon light and halogen light) are incident on the light guide plate 9 in this state, unevenness occurs in the light irradiated from the light guide plate 9 toward the irradiation surface 12. End up.
- the distribution of the radiation directivity of xenon light and the distribution of the radiation directivity of halogen light are substantially the same. Match.
- the widths of the graphs indicating the radiation directivity distributions substantially match each other, and the quantitative distributions of the respective angle components on the graph also substantially match. Therefore, the radiation directivity of xenon light and the radiation directivity of halogen light after passing through the taper member 8 are more consistent with each other than in the first embodiment. Therefore, when these lights (synthetic light) enter the light guide plate 9, the uniformity of the light emitted from the light guide plate 9 toward the irradiation surface 12 is further improved.
- the present invention can be realized as the following configuration.
- the wavelength selection mirror that reflects one of the above and the other, the light emitted from the xenon light source that has passed through the first optical filter, and the light emitted from the halogen light source that has passed through the second optical filter
- a light extraction unit that is formed on the light guide plate and extracts propagating light from the light guide plate, between the start position of the light extraction unit in the light guide plate and the wavelength selection mirror

- the pseudo-sunlight irradiation apparatus according to the first configuration, wherein the means for uniformizing the incident directivity is a taper member whose thickness changes from the incident side toward the outgoing side.
- the first light source is a xenon light source that emits xenon light that is the first light
- the second light source is a halogen light source that emits halogen light that is the second light. Is preferred.
- the thickness of the light transmission means decreases linearly from the incident surface to the emission surface of the light transmission means.
- the effect of matching the radiation directivity of light can be obtained by the light transmitting means having a simple structure.
- the light selection means selects the first light of 750 nm or less and the second light of 750 nm or more.
- the light selection means is a 45 ° wavelength selection mirror that reflects either the first light or the second light and transmits the other.
- the light selecting means provided with the 45 ° tilt prism further expands the disturbance. Can be prevented. Therefore, the radiation directivity of light incident on the light guide plate can be made more uniform.
- the difference between the width of the entrance surface and the exit surface of the light transmission means is 17 mm or less.
- the length of the light transmitting means is preferably 300 mm or less.

テーパカプラ5の他端(出射面)には、エアマスフィルタ5aが配置されている。エアマスフィルタ5aは、キセノン光の発光スペクトルに最適化された透過特性を有している。これにより、テーパカプラ5の出射面から出射したキセノン光の発光スペクトルを調整する。エアマスフィルタ5aを通過したキセノン光は、エアマスフィルタ5aと45度の角度を置いて配置されている波長選択ミラー7に向かう。波長選択ミラー7は、キセノン光の短波長側を反射させて、テーパ部材8の一端(入射面)に導く。
テーパカプラ6の他端(出射面)には、エアマスフィルタ5bが配置されている。エアマスフィルタ5bは、ハロゲン光の発光スペクトルに最適化された透過特性を有している。これにより、テーパカプラ6から出射したハロゲン光の発光スペクトルを調整する。エアマスフィルタ5bを通過したハロゲン光は、反射ミラー10に入射される。
テーパ部材8は導光体によって構成されており、その一端(光の入射面)から他端(光の出射面)に向けて、導光体の幅(テーパ部材8の短軸)が徐々に減少する構造を取る。言い換えると、テーパ部材8の入射面から出射面に向かって、テーパ部材8の短軸方向の断面積は徐々に減少する。
図5(a)は、テーパカプラ5に入射する前におけるキセノン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図であり、(b)は、テーパ部材8を出射した後におけるキセノン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図である。図6(a)は、テーパカプラ6に入射する前におけるハロゲン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図であり、(b)は、テーパ部材8を出射した後におけるハロゲン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図である。
なお、図1に示すように、擬似太陽光照射装置30は、キセノン光の光学系とハロゲン光の光学系とからなる光学系セットを、2つ備えている。一方のセットは擬似太陽光照射装置30の筐体の一端(図1の左側)に備え、もう一方のセットは筐体の他端(図1の右側)に備えている。それぞれの光学系セットからの光を、一方は導光板9の一端に入射し、もう一方は導光板9の他端に入射することによって、擬似太陽光照射装置30から照射する擬似太陽光の強度をより高めることができる。
本発明に係る第2の実施形態について、図7~図9を参照して以下に説明する。なお、上述した第1の実施形態と共通する各部材には同じ符号を付し、詳細な説明を省略する。
図7は、本発明の一実施形態に係る擬似太陽光照射装置30aの要部構成を示す図である。図8は、擬似太陽光照射装置30aの一部を拡大した図である。これらの図に示すように、擬似太陽光照射装置30aは、第1の実施形態に係る擬似太陽光照射装置30が備える各部材に加え、さらに、キューブ状波長選択ミラー16およびカプラ17を備えている。
本実施形態の擬似太陽光照射装置30aによる効果について、図10および図11を参照して以下に説明する。図10(a)は、テーパカプラ5に入射する前におけるキセノン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図であり、(b)は、テーパ部材8を出射した後におけるキセノン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図である。図11(a)は、テーパカプラ6に入射する前におけるハロゲン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図であり、(b)は、テーパ部材8を出射した後におけるハロゲン光の放射指向性の分布を示す図である。
