Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9817943A1] A solid integrated beamformer includes a solid nonimaging optic (40) having (i) a proximal nonimaging end and (ii) a distal nonimaging end; a solid refractive optic (50) integrally attached to the distal nonimaging end, the solid refractive optic including a distal refractive end; and a holographic surface diffuser (60) integrally formed on the distal refractive end. The solid integrated beamformer providing advantages in the precise light distribution is obtained with a compact and relatively inexpensive unitary optical device.
