| Title: |
Optical System with Reflectors and Light Pipes |
| Abstract: |
An optical system utilizing a light pipe in which light travels by total
internal reflection (TIR) accurately controls the light exiting the pipe.
The system achieves accurate control of the reflected light by
selectively extracting light from a limited area of the light pipe. The
configuration of the reflectors used for the selective extraction of the
light determines the nature of the output light. The reflectors are
preferably located on an output side of the light pipe. All light output
by the system is directed by the reflectors.
