20090296401 | Devices and Methods for Resonant Illumination - Described herein are methods, devices and systems for effective, adjustable wide-field illumination. In particular resonant engines for illuminating a broad area by resonant oscillation, and methods of moving at least one mirror at or near a resonance are described. A resonant engine includes one or more mirrors that may be oscillated to reflect light from a light source(s) to create a target illumination pattern. Devices and systems in which the mirror or mirrors are oscillated at an energy-efficient manner are described. Also described are optics, control features, and techniques that may be utilized to enhance the energy efficiency of the resonant engines and system described. | 12-03-2009 |
