Definitions

  • the invention relates to systems for collecting and condensing electromagnetic radiation, such as light, and, in particular, to a system employing a pair of opposed concave reflector surfaces for collecting radiation emitted from a radiation source and focusing the collected radiated onto a target.

  • Prior art systems using on-axis reflectors and employing spherical, ellipsoidal, and parabolic reflectors have the advantage of being circularly symmetric.
  • reflectors intrinsically degrade the brightness of the light source due to the variation of the magnification of light emitted from the source at different angles and impinging on different portions of the reflective surface.

  • the invention includes a device for collecting radiation emitted from a source of electromagnetic radiation and condensing the collected radiation into a target.

  • the concave reflective surfaces 12 and 22 are arranged in an opposed-facing relation and are preferably both parabolic in shape.
  • the reflective surfaces 12 and 22 may be coated with any suitable reflective material, such as aluminum, silver, or a single or multi-layer dielectric coating for use in various color systems, e.g., a cold mirror for visible light.
  • the first reflector 10 has an optical axis 14 on which lies a focal point 16.

Thereafter, the radiation is again reflected by the concave reflective surface 22 of the second reflector 20 toward the focal point 26 of the second reflector 20 onto target 32 placed at the focal point 26.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of a cross-section of a paired reflector system.

  • Radiation in the form of light emitted by the arc lamp 40 is collected by the first reflector 10, is collimated, and is directed toward the second reflector 20. The light is then reflected by the second reflector 20 and condensed, or focused, onto the target 32 placed at the focal point 26 of the second reflector 20.

  • Suitable lamps include xenon, metal halide, halogen, or mercury arc lamps. While a single output fiber 44 is shown in Figure 3, the target may comprise the input end of an output fiber bundle, a homogenizer used for outputting high power to low temperature plastic fibers, or a homogenizer for a projection television.

  • the opening 18 formed in the first reflector 10 may, of necessity, be larger than the focal point 26 of the second reflector 20 and the target 32, a portion of the radiation emitted by the source 30 that is within a loss cone 46 that subtends the opening 18 will be lost.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système collecteur et condenseur consistant en un ensemble apparié de réflecteurs comportant un premier réflecteur, ou collecteur, qui collecte un rayonnement émis par une source de rayonnement et qui collimate ce rayonnement en faisceaux parallèles, dirigeant ces faisceaux sur une partie d'un second réflecteur, ou condenseur ou focaliseur, qui focalise la lumière sur une cible le long de l'axe optique commun partagé par les deux réflecteurs. Une ouverture est formée dans le second réflecteur afin de permettre la transmission du rayonnement depuis la source située au point focal du premier réflecteur vers le premier réflecteur, et une autre ouverture est pratiquée dans le premier réflecteur afin de permettre la transmission du rayonnement réfléchi et focalisé par le second réflecteur sur une cible placée au point focal du second réflecteur. Une lentille, de même axe optique commun et de mêmes points focaux que les premier et second réflecteurs est positionnée entre ces réflecteurs afin de collecter et de condenser le rayonnement qui, autrement, serait perdu par les ouvertures pratiquées dans les réflecteurs respectifs. Le système complet mène essentiellement à un grossissement de un. On peut, en outre, ajouter un rétro-réflecteur afin d'augmenter la densité de flux total arrivant sur la cible. De multiples sources électromagnétiques ainsi que des ensembles de réflecteurs appariés peuvent être disposés en cascade le long de l'axe optique commun de façon à augmenter la brillance à la cible.
