Intelligent emergency sign and lighting feasibility using photopolymer optical control

发光应急标志显示固定信息，可能导致传达次优安全信息，并且在烟雾弥漫的环境中可能不可见。该项目的目标是将发光二极管（LED）和脉冲激光技术的最新进展与使用照相全息工艺的创新方法相结合，以开发光聚合物光学元件（POC）来控制和引导低能量光。这将允许新一代应急灯和标志a）优化来自这些光源的照明以满足或超过照明的法定要求，同时最小化能量使用B）开发能够通过穿透烟雾在烟雾填充的环境中引导的照明c）确保该技术可以与使用传感器和无线通信的智能标志集成。

Illuminated emergency signs display a fixed message potentially leading to communication of sub-optimal safety information and can be invisible in a smoke-filled environment. The objective of this project is to integrate recent advances in Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and pulsed laser technology with innovative ways of using photographic holographic processes to develop photopolymer optical components (POC) to control and direct low energy light. This will allow a new generation of emergency lights and signs to a) optimise illumination from such sources to meet or exceed statutory requirements for illumination whilst minimising energy use b) develop lighting capable of guiding in smoke filled environments by penetrating smoke c) ensure this technology can be integrated with intelligent signs using sensors and wireless communications.
