ABSTRACT:
A method and system for producing a collimated beam of light having a substantially uniform flux density across the entire beam includes a light source adapted to emit light rays; a light integrator adapted to collimate the light rays and provide a uniform flux intensity; and a pair of reflectors adapted to reflect all of the light from the light source into the light integrator. The light integrator includes a fly-eye arrangement of light pipes. Each light pipe includes a pair of lenses adapted to bend the light rays towards the normal to collimate the light rays. In addition the light pipes may be juxtaposed to produce a collimated light beam having a uniform flux density and a desired geometrical configuration (i.e. rectangular, circular).
