Abstract: A process is disclosed for directing a beam onto different positions of a surface. The direction of the beam is altered by a defined force that acts upon it so that the beam may be associated to a defined position on the surface. The process is characterised in that the beam propagating in the axial or z direction runs through a region in the z direction and in that a force acts upon the beam in defined zones in the z direction within said region, altering the direction of a defined part of the beam in the defined zone by a defined amount. Also disclosed are a device for directing a beam onto different positions of a surface, and the use of the device.

Abstract: A hollow light guide illumination system is provided for coupling light from an illumination source (60) to a hollow light guide (62), which is used for a variety of purposes, such as tunnels, hallways, and large rooms where direct lighting is dangerous, difficult to maintain or subject to vandalism. The illumination system employs an illumination reflector (77) which has been customized to maximize the efficiency of light transmission between the illumination source (60), such as an arc lamp, and the core of the hollow light guide (62). A method of fabricating the customized illumination reflector (77) includes mapping the radiation patterns of the particular illumination source (60) to be utilized, creating a database of those radiation patterns, and utilizing the database to generate an optimal illumination reflector (77) configuration. The computer-generated reflector (77) will virtually always be a non-conic section, because the illumination source (60) is not ideal.

Abstract: An optical fiber having a core is disclosed. A notch having first and second sides is formed in the fiber and extends into the core. At least the portion of the interior of the notch adjacent the first side has an index of refraction less than that of the core. Light travelling at a first angle to the fiber axis and striking the first side will be totally internally reflected if the first angle is greater than a predetermined angle. If the first angle is less than the predetermined angle, a portion of the light will enter the notch and emerge through the second surface making a second angle to the first surface, the second angle being greater than the first.
