ABSTRACT:
The inventive system, which is used in transmitting illumination from a central source to a variety of remote locations, efficiently couples the light originating from an arc lamp, or similar source, into a multiplicity of flexible macroscopic fibers. The combination of the several elements of the inventive system results in a very efficient transfer of the energy of the light source to the fibers. A first module houses the arc lamp, and a second module generally houses the optics for coupling light to the flexible macroscopic fibers. The second module is thermally insulated from the first module, to thereby prevent high temperatures from leaking from the first module into the second module.
