Title: UnSig Min: Innovator in Illumination Systems
Introduction
UnSig Min is a notable inventor based in Westlake Village, CA (US), recognized for his contributions to the field of illumination systems. With a total of 2 patents, he has developed innovative technologies that enhance the quality and efficiency of light sources.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Illumination system using polarization conversion." This invention discloses an apparatus and method for providing a substantially uniform, homogenous, polarized light. A beam of substantially un-polarized light is provided by a conventional light source. The un-polarized light is converted to at least four real images using a light pipe and appropriate lensing. Each of the real images has a light region and one or more dark regions at a first image plane. A portion of light from a light region in each real image is directed to one or more dark regions in each of the real images in a polarization-dependent manner, resulting in a single image of substantially polarized light.
Another significant patent is the "Reflective illumination system." This invention discloses a reflective illumination system for supplying an optical radiation beam along a folded path for illuminating a planar object. The system includes a radiation source and two facing parabolic dish-shaped arrays of parabolic or dished reflectors. Divergent light received from the light source incident on the first of the arrays is reflected as a larger collimated beam comprising plural separated sub-beams. Each of the reflectors or facets from the first array directs one of the sub-beams to a facet on the second array. The second array reflects the light it receives with a substantially uniform intensity onto a rectangular target location.
