ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for treating material with radiant energy, especially adapted for curing photocurable polymeric materials coated onto an optic fiber. The apparatus includes first and second reflectors which in combination form an elliptical reflector, a light source positioned at one focus of the elliptical reflector and a photocurable polymer-coated wire-like material or a fiber such as an optical fiber positioned at the second focus. An auxiliary reflector is located near the second focus in such a position as to direct light rays impinging thereon towards the second focus, thus increasing the amount of energy which impinges on the polymer coating.
