Abstract

In order to realize a micro omni-distance uniform illumination, a LED D-shape photonic crystals fibre (PCF) illumination system was designed. White light emitting from white LED was coupled into the D-shape PCF by using the coupling system. As propagating in the D-shape PCF, light exits out from the flat surface of the D-shape PCF for uniform illuminating. The intensity of the illuminating light exiting from the flat surface depends on the number of cladding rings of the D-shape PCF. In our system, the diameter d, and period Λ of the air-hole cladding are 1.78 μm and 7.78 μm, respectively. As keeping 2 rings of the air hole cladding from the center to the flat surface of the D-shape PCF, the omni-distance uniform illuminating in visible light wavelength range was obtained..
