Abstract: A light-diffusing optical element with efficient coupling to light sources with high numerical aperture. The light-diffusing optical element includes a higher index core surrounded by a lower index cladding. The cladding includes scattering centers that scatter evanescent light entering the cladding from the core. The scattered light exits the element to provide broad-area illumination along the element. Scattering centers include dopants, nanoparticles and/or internal voids. The core may also include scattering centers. The core is glass and the cladding may be glass or a polymer. The element features high numerical aperture and high scattering efficiency.

Abstract: An apparatus including: an illumination source; and a climate controlled enclosure having at least one light diffusion element situated within the enclosure, the at least one light diffusion element being in photonic communication with the illumination source, and the illumination source being remote to the enclosure. The disclosure also provides a method of using the apparatus to illuminate the interior of the apparatus and optionally the contents of the apparatus.
