Abstract:
A light curing system for light curing of composite materials comprising:a. a light power supply which utilizes electrical power to generate voltage and current at appropriate levels for use in the light curing system,b. a light producing device configured to receive and utilize voltage and current from said light power supply, said light producing device being capable of producing light at selected intensities for selected periods of time,c. a wavelength separating, mixing and eliminating device capable of receiving light from said light producing device and manipulating said light into a format for exposure to a polymeric material,d. a delivery device capable of delivering light manipulated by said wavelength separating, mixing and eliminating device to a remote location for exposure to a polymeric material, ande. a computer control system which controls said light power supply and said wavelength separating, mixing and eliminating device to produce light according to a selected modulation scheme based on the cured composite material.
