Abstract Simulation of the immersed light source with
microstructure on the emitting surface is critical for next
generation optical and bio-photonics components. Several
design procedures that corresponding to the modulation of
the emitting pattern is addressed. The writers are at present
operating on a MOST project “Investigation of Solid Human
Eye Model with 3D Printing Technology and the Evaluation
on the Associate Specialized Optoelectronic Sensing
Structures Fabrication to the Biocompatible Surface”. We
are preparing the methodology that can construct the human
eye model with immersed emitting energy by the 3D printing
material, and furnishes the real time estimation on the image
qualities of the human eye. Our aim is to build a practical
platform to evaluate the immersed optical-electronic
components of the human eye. By doing this, the evaluation
of the visual qualities can be amended, and it becomes
possible for us to fill in an accurate measurement system that
based on the eye model with immersed source. In this
account, we provide several comments on the conduct of the
immersed light source and the application to the details
human eye modeling.

1. Introduction
Layer structure with light source immersed in the material
provides as important applications for information display
[1-8]. One of the applications for such device is to develop
the optoelectronic component for the building and evaluation
on the metrics of the (artificial) human eye. It is anticipated
that a flexible and emitting light source layer can be attached
or embedded in the human eye for specific uses. Granting to
the comments by ophthalmologists, we realized that the
current clinicians often meet the difficulties to describe the
visual improvement of the patients, before and after the
discussion or the operating room. No question those
expensive facilities can simultaneously assess the visual
metrics of the patients. Yet, for the patients and relevant, it is
not easy to understand these complicated medical conditions
and phenomena. On the other hand, the specialist sometimes
will be difficult to predict and interpreted the possible effects
of the treatment, for the unexpected scenario that the patients
will endure-through for their daily life (such as Halo, glare
phenomena while driving under different visual/head
position). Moreover, for the upcoming aging society, to
depict the subjective visual experience of the patient may not
be easy - wearable and immersed type device is possible one
of the answers. Based on these demands, this report will pay
attention on the ray tracing of the immersed layer device.
Referable to the complicated fabrication procedures for
these novel devices, there are sometimes contradictions
between the numerical simulation and the experiment report.
For example, it is anticipated that the projected light source
that immersed under the tissue, without textures on the top
emitting surface should take in a flatten apodization for the
smaller solid angle region, while the one with microstructure
will lead to the Lambertain pattern (due to the increasing of
the extraction efficiency). However, experimental results
differ for single layer and multi-layers situations. This is
imputable to the combinations between the refractive index,
interface conditions and the surface properties for each layer
that lead to these disagreements. Such divergence in the
planning stage will cause serious and severe consequences
for developing medical applications. To clarify such
contradictions, we demonstrate the emitting patterns of a
single layer immersed light source to prevent possible issues
for practical application with 3D printing.
