Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a waveguide comprises a waveguide body comprising an optically transmissive material and one or more extraction features disposed on a surface of the waveguide body such that the extraction features comprise a reflective material disposed on a portion of the surface of the waveguide body. Still further, in accordance with this aspect, the waveguide comprises a light source directing light into the waveguide body through a coupling cavity extending along the waveguide body wherein the light travels through the waveguide body and is redirected by the plurality of extraction features.
