ABSTRACT:
A reflector for radiation disseminated by a radiation source is of a shape with which the reflector curve of intersection in a plane including an axis (A) of the reflector and the radiation source comprises segments (S1-A1, A2-B2) of different conics whose merging is edge-free. These conic segments are joined directly and the tangents at the point of contact (A1,A2) of two joined conic segments are alike. A method of generating such a reflector is indicated as well.
