Abstract:
In an apparatus for the transport of the light emitted by a short-arc lamp (1) through its light outlet hole (13) to a desired location a number of light guides (5) are provided the light entry surfaces (50) of which are arranged at a predetermined location. In addition, a coupling element (3) is provided, which is arranged at a distance from the light outlet hole (13) of the short-arc lamp (1) and between the light outlet hole (13) and the light entry surfaces (50) of the light guides (5). The coupling element (3) is designed such that it collects the emitted light and couples it into the light guides (5) through the light entry surfaces (50) of the light guides (5).
