MUNICH, - Car companies that claim to have developed headlights type of laser is Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW). And now BMW is still boast LED technology headlamps used on Series-6 with features, namely "Anti-Dazzle Assistan High Beam" (anti-glare) and "Dynamic Light Spot", which could mark the lights automatically Penjalan legs properly and help direct the driver.
At Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used at a fraction of new luxury car as the headlights, lighting technology for motor vehicles that were rated superior, is ready also introduced. Lighting or lighting technology is considered to be very great car it is a laser beam.
To i8
BMW said the technology as a laser beam headlamps can be exploited in the next few years. In fact it is said, one model of the sub-brand of BMW, which i8 to be produced in 2014 is estimated to be able to use the headlamps with teknologio this laser.
Described, the laser light can meet all the needs and functions facilities headlights safer and more comfortable plus energy efficiency is much better.
By definition, the laser light is very different from the sunlight and also from various types of artificial light or artificial commonly used today. Type of laser light is monochromatic, which means all the same wave length light. In addition, also known as light sources "coherent" which means a constant wave phase difference.
As a result, the laser produces a beam of parallel adjacent to the intensity of a thousand times more powerful than conventional LED lamps. Characteristics like these can add new features when used for the headlights. In addition, with a very high light efficiency, when used for the headlights, the energy required is only half of the LED lights. Means of laser light is very energy efficient!
Safe!
The intensity of the laser beam for the headlights, is said by the insinyyr BMW will not pose a risk to living beings, namely humans and animals. Because the laser beam is fired directly into the street or in the future. Inside the bulb, the laser beam first amended in accordance with the needs of light traffic on the highway. The resulting light said to be very bright, white and pleasing to the eye.
Further, safe laser illumination technology is now used on a variety of products without the knowledge of the user. Therefore, this laser light will not cause problems if used later.
Diode 10 micro
The important implication is the size diodenya laser technology. The length is only 10mikro (μm), which means it can be made up to one hundredth of times smaller than the cell size of conventional LED lamp with a side length of one millimeter. With this addition, allows all the light sources can be put together.
With regard to the size, yet BMW's engineers have radical plans to reduce the size of the headlights, although it is theoretically possible. BMW possibility would be appropriate to maintain the dimensions and surface area of conventional lamps. The goal is to maintain the appearance of the BMW line with his trademark over the years. Just described, into the light can be reduced or the headlamps may be mounted on the part of the car body.
170 Lumen per Watt
Another advantage of laser light is high efficiency. According to BMW, based on a single statistic, LED lighting produces only 100 lumens per Watt, while the laser beam is 170 lumens. The last factor is what makes BMW so bergairahkan use the headlamps with laser technology.
Planned, in the future, BMW will use a laser headlamps with features such as now, the "Adaptive Headlight", "Dynamic Light Spot" and "Anti-Dazzle High Beam Assist".
To be used for daily necessities and also safe for living things, before the beam from the laser diode is released to the street of small, light bluish-biruannya changed first. To that end, in a gas-filled bulb fluorescent phosophor. The result, white light dihasilskan be clean, bright and not hurt the eyes.
