| Title: |
Illumination System |
| Abstract: |
An illumination system, reflector and method for producing a beam with a
substantially circularly symmetric irradiance distribution from a light
source having a plurality of linear light emitting elements arranged with
their longitudinal axes substantially parallel with each other and spaced
substantially symmetrically about a central longitudinal axis. The
reflector includes a plurality of reflecting zones corresponding to, and
aligned with, the plurality of light emitting elements. A surface of a
reflecting zone may be defined by rotating a generator curve around an
axis of rotation that is not coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the
light source.
