Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If conventional light sources are used for light therapy, then light emission is achieved, but the spatial distribution of photons based on angular momenta cannot be efficiently controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the structural parameters of the optical filter by incorporating nano-photonic layers with specific symmetries (icosahedral or dodecahedral) and controlling their thickness and arrangement. These parameter changes enable the filter to manipulate photon spatial distribution and angular momenta, transforming conventional light into hyperlight with predetermined characteristics while maintaining high conversion efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The optical filter employs a composite structure consisting of multiple nano-photonic layers with different symmetries (icosahedral and dodecahedral) stacked in a specific sequence. This composite material approach allows the filter to simultaneously achieve multiple functions: controlling spatial distribution, managing angular momenta, and maintaining high transmission efficiency in the therapeutic wavelength range
2Reliability
If light with predetermined spatial distribution is generated, then therapeutic effect is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The optical filter is segmented into multiple discrete nano-photonic layers, each with specific symmetry characteristics (icosahedral or dodecahedral). Each layer performs a specific function in manipulating the light properties, and the segmented structure allows for modular design and fabrication while achieving the complex goal of generating hyperlight with predetermined spatial distribution
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces symmetry-based dimensional characteristics (icosahedral and dodecahedral symmetries) to the nano-photonic layers. This dimensional approach allows the filter to control three-dimensional photon distribution and angular momenta through two-dimensional layer structures, effectively adding functional dimensions without proportionally increasing physical complexity
