  • LINEAR FRESNEL OPTIC FOR REDUCING ANGULAR SPREAD OF LIGHT FROM LED ARRAY
    Publication number: 20130271970
    Abstract: A light source may comprise a cylindrical lens, for example a cylindrical Fresnel lens, a linear array of light-emitting elements, the linear array aligned with and emitting light through the cylindrical Fresnel lens, wherein the cylindrical Fresnel lens reduces the angular spread of light in a widthwise axis of the linear array, the linear array spanning a lens length.

  • DUAL ELLIPTICAL REFLECTOR WITH A CO-LOCATED FOCI FOR CURING OPTICAL FIBERS
    Publication number: 20130068969
    Abstract: A device for UV curing a coating or printed ink on an workpiece such as an optical fiber comprises dual elliptical reflectors arranged to have a co-located focus. The workpiece is centered at the co-located focus such that the dual elliptical reflectors are disposed on opposing sides of the workpiece. Two separate light sources are positioned at a second focus of each elliptical reflector, wherein light irradiated from the light sources is substantially concentrated onto the surface of the workpiece at the co-located focus.
