Method of forming gratings

Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to methods of forming gratings. The method includes depositing a resist material on a grating material disposed over a substrate, patterning the resist material into a resist layer, projecting a first ion beam to the first device area to form a first plurality of gratings, and projecting a second ion beam to the second device area to form a second plurality of gratings. Using a patterned resist layer allows for projecting an ion beam over a large area, which is often easier than focusing the ion beam in a specific area.

Light fixture with single edge lit optical assembly

A light fixture with a single edge lit optical assembly produces various light distributions which provide targeted control of light output with peak intensity that is non-normal to the light guide output face. The compact form factor of light fixture embodiments having narrow width are particularly well-suited for use in linear lighting applications requiring suspended, surface and recessed installations typically used to illuminate walls, floors and/or ceilings. The light fixture can also be selectively configured and oriented during assembly and installation to achieve various lighting distributions including asymmetrical and symmetrical with one or more peak intensities. Optical components within the light fixture are typically positioned and retained in optical alignment with internal support features of a linear housing. The optical assembly typically includes LED board, light guide, and one or more reflectors, and an optically transmitting component further providing a fixture assembler a range of design choices.

A light-transmissible element and a lamp device using the light-transmissible element are provided. The light-transmissible element includes a light-inputting surface, a first light-outputting surface, a second light-outputting surface and plural microstructures. The first light-outputting surface and the second light-outputting surface are located beside two opposite sides of the light-inputting surface. The plural microstructures are formed on the second light-outputting surface. The plural light beams from the light-inputting surface are received and refracted by the plural microstructures. Consequently, a luminous flux of the light beams received and refracted by each first refractive surface is higher than a luminous flux of the light beams received and refracted by each second refractive surface. Due to this design, the light extraction efficiency of the overall lamp device is increased, the light output range is adjustable and the generation of the light spots is reduced.
