  • Orthogonal parabolic reflector systems
    Patent number: 5037191
    Abstract: An Orthogonal Parabolic Reflector is generated by rotating a parabolic curve 90.degree. to the axis of symmetry passing through the focal point of the parabola. The Orthogonal Parabolic Reflector can concentrate a section of the linear source or sink on the axis of rotation to the focal point, resulting in integrating the intensity as a point source or sink at the focal point with almost no physical dimension effects.
