A visual navigational aid for guiding the approach path of incoming aircrafts, ships or other vehicles. The visual navigational aid comprises high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) or LED arrays and optical beam shaping apparatus that produce multiple light beams with different colors or flash patterns to guide the incoming aircrafts, ships or other vehicles to a pre-determined approach path.

Visual navigational aids based on high intensity LEDS

A light emitting diode (LED) signaling apparatus for navigational aids is provided. The signaling apparatus comprises a plurality of high intensity LEDs with their output beams individually controlled by high precision optical beam transformers. The transformed LED beams are mixed in a predetermined manner by controlling the relative position, angular orientation, and other parameters of the LEDs to produce a desired illumination pattern.

Optical signaling apparatus with precise beam control

A diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) has self-maintained multi-dimensional optimization. The output property of the DPSSL, including optical power, noise level, and the operation conditions of its individual components, including the drive current and temperature of the laser diode, the temperature of the laser crystals and laser cavity, the drive current of the thermoelectric coolers, is monitored and systematically optimized in real time through automatic electronic control using a microprocessor. Such monitoring and optimization enable the DPSSL to maintain its optimum performance in output power, beam quality, noise level, and stability, throughout its lifetime regardless of component aging and change of environmental conditions. A highly accurate temperature monitoring and control method is also developed.

Diode-pumped solid-state laser with self-maintained multi-dimensional optimization

A quickly deployable and reconfigurable light emitting diode (LED) lighting apparatus with high output intensity and precisely controlled beam property is disclosed for navigational aids. The lighting apparatus comprises an array of high intensity LED units with their light beams individually controlled by secondary optical systems. The transformed light beams mix in a pre-determined manner to produce an illumination pattern with desired intensity distribution. The LED lighting apparatus may further comprise a micro-controller, a plurality of sensor elements, and a wireless transceiver for remote monitoring and control. The lighting apparatus can be powered by rechargeable batteries for temporary or semi-permanent lighting. It can also be powered by standard power lines for permanent lighting.

Lighting apparatus for navigational aids

A temperature insensitive diode-pumped solid state laser is disclosed in this invention. The components of the laser are optimized with temperature insensitive design, making the laser capable of operating in a wide temperature range without using any cooling/heating system to maintain the temperature of its components.
