ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic illuminating device is formed by assembling a plurality of large diameter fibers into a bundled array. An entrance face of the array is arranged in a circular configuration proximate a light source, and the output face is deformed by heating and compressing the circular fiber ends into a rectangular configuration. The light output exits the array in a linear beam having improved uniformity.
