  • Focused light source and method
    Patent number: 5016152
    Abstract: An improved light source for illuminating optical fibers includes a high-intensity gas-discharge lamp positioned within a reflector assembly that focuses radiation from the lamp onto a remote focal point, and that selectively transmits and reflects desired visible radiation and attenuates undesirable ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Alignment procedures in assembly process ensure maximization of flux intensity supplied to optical fibers positioned at the remote focal point of the reflector assembly.

  • Cooled lighting apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4922385
    Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for illuminating optical fibers includes a bezel block for positioning the ends of optical fibers near an area of illumination that is isolated from the heat of the source of illumination and that is cooled by air flowing through the block. Heat is transferred from the source of illumination by flowing air which is controlled within an enclosure for maintaining low exhaust temperatures.
