ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses an optical radiating apparatus constructed on one end of a light-conducting optical fiber such that, upon encountering this radiator, light is caused to leave the fiber and radiate in a cylindrical pattern with respect to the central axis of the fiber. This optical radiator is constructed such that the pattern of radiated light is nearly uniform in intensity in a cylindrical pattern, without areas of light intensity significantly different from the average distribution around the circumference of the cylinder. The present invention also discloses a method to manufacture the above-described light radiating apparatus, ensuring uniformity of light intensity and the ability to transmit relatively intense light without developing regions of optical, thermal or mechanical damage, and without the need to reshape the core of the optical fiber.
