  • Publication number: 20200044748
    Abstract: A receiver assembly (1) has a radiation guide (4) having an elongate form. The length is at least five times longer than all dimensions of the radiation guide perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (3). The guide receives radiation via an outer lateral surface (8), converts the radiation to longer wavelength radiation, and guides the converted radiation to a longitudinal end surface (2). A receiver unit (5) receives radiation output from the longitudinal end surface.
