  • Radiation gathering and focusing apparatus
    Patent number: 5374939
    Abstract: An apparatus for gathering and focusing or for transmitting radiation including a reflecting surface formed by portion of a right circular cone, a linear collector/transmitter located within the cone and connected to a vertex of the cone. An adjustable support can be used to vary the position of the collector/transmitter relative to the reflecting surface in response to a change in direction of the radiation. Adjustable support can also be provided to the reflecting surface so as to adjust its orientation in response to a change in direction of the radiation.

  • Radiation gathering and focusing apparatus and devices
    Patent number: 5016995
    Abstract: A radiation focussing device has a reflecting surface which is at least part of a surface of revolution which is generated by a rotation of an arc of a parabola about a rotational axis. This axis is in the plane of the parabola, passes through the parabola focus and is at a non-zero angle, preferably 90.degree. to the principal axis of the parabola. The arc lies on the opposite side of the rotational axis from the vertex of the parabola. When combined with a conical mirror this focussing device can focus parallel incoming rays.
