Abstract: A curing system, a transmission system and a method for delivering curing radiation to multiple worksites simultaneously. The curing system includes a radiation source adapted to generate curing radiation, a homogenizer adapted to receive radiation generated by the radiation source and emit substantially homogenized radiation, and a radiation transmission device. The radiation transmission device includes at least one device inlet port adapted to receive substantially homogenized radiation from the homogenizer and a plurality of transmission channels operatively coupled to the device inlet port and adapted to transmit radiation received by the device inlet port. Each transmission channel comprises a device outlet port adapted to emit radiation transmitted by the transmission channel.

Abstract: A method and system for curing reactive material. The system includes an inlet port adapted to receive radiation from a source, a plurality of emitter ports and transmission means operatively coupling the inlet port to each emitter port. The transmission means is adapted to conduct radiation from the inlet port to the emitter ports and preferably includes a plurality of optical fibre strands. Additionally, the system also preferably includes a housing defining a substantially tubular irradiation chamber. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for joining the ends of a first optical cable and a second optical cable together. The method includes the steps of abutting the end of the first optical cable to the end of the second optical cable, applying reactive adhesive to the abutted ends, and directing radiation within the absorption spectrum of the reactive adhesive onto the adhesive until the adhesive is sufficiently cured.

Abstract: A light integrating interface having a housing made substantially of pressed polytetrafluoroethylene powder. The interface has a non-spherical integrating cavity with a reflective inner surface, as well as a light energy input port and a light energy output port operatively coupled to the integrating cavity.
