[Problems]To provide a surface acoustic wave excitation device for efficiently exciting the surface acoustic wave on the surface of a material such as glass having free size and shape for making mechanical vibration available.[Means to Solve the Problems]The surface acoustic wave excitation device according to the present invention comprises a non-piezoelectric member 30 such as glass, a piezoelectric member 20, interdigital transducers 11 interposed between the non-piezoelectric member 30 and the piezoelectric member 20, and pre-pressurizing means 42 for pressing the piezoelectric member 20 onto the non-piezoelectric member 30 by way of the interdigital transducers. Alternating voltage is applied to the interdigital transducers 11 for exciting the surface acoustic wave on the non-piezoelectric member 30. Standing waves are generated in the piezoelectric member 20 by applying alternating voltage to the interdigital transducers 11, thereby allowing alternating strains to propagate to the non-piezoelectric member 30 such as a glass substrate or the like by way of the electrodes 11 and exciting the surface acoustic wave for making mechanical vibration of the non-piezoelectric member 30 available.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for biomedical imaging includes directing time-varying excitation light at a surface area of a light scattering material, the material comprising a fluorescent target. Time-varying emission light from the fluorescent target is detected, substantially at a two-dimensional sensor surface, in response to the time-varying excitation light stimulating the fluorescent target. The time-varying emission light is filtered to reject excitation light re-emitted from the material. A three-dimensional image of the fluorescent target is generated based on the detection substantially at the sensor surface.

Many thousands of micro-LEDs (e.g., 25 microns per side) are deposited on a substrate. Some of the LEDs are formed to emit a peak wavelength of 450 nm (blue), and some are formed to emit a peak wavelength of 490 nm (cyan). A YAG (yellow) phosphor is then deposited on the LEDs, or a remote YAG layer is used. YAG phosphor is most efficiently excited at 450 nm and has a very weak emission at 490 nm. The two types of LEDs are GaN based and can be driven at the same current. The ratio of the two types of LEDs is controlled to achieve the desired overall color emission of the LED lamp. The blue LEDs optimally excite the YAG phosphor to produce white light having blue and yellow components, and the cyan LEDs broaden the emission spectrum to increase the CRI of the lamp while improving luminous efficiency. Other embodiments are described.
