Abstract: An optical focusing and collecting system includes: a first optical shaping portion, including an output surface, adapted to supply a primary light beam which is made annular; a second optical focusing and collecting portion, including a conical upper central reflective surface and a conical lower central reflective surface; a third optical return portion, including a reflective surface located between the output surface and the upper central reflective surface, along a main optical axis (?) and having transverse dimensions smaller than those of the annular primary light beam supplied by the first optical portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a directional magnetic field generator with a magnetic circuit comprising: a first vertical-axis pole end (37) arranged above a horizontal plane; and at least two second pole ends (28A to 28D) symmetrically arranged on said horizontal plane, the generator further comprising coils arranged such that each magnetic circuit portion connecting two pole ends passes inside at least one coil, these coils being suitable for being connected to circuits for circulating currents of adjustable intensity in selected directions therein.
