Abstract
The present invention describes a collimating apparatus 10. The collimating apparatus 10 comprises a light source 12, a waveguide 14 adjacent to the light source 12 and configured to receive light from the light source 12, a light steering optic 16 configured to receive light 30 from the waveguide 14, and a collimating optic 18 configured to collimate light received from the light steering optic 16. The wave guide 14 and the collimating optic 18 are both physically located on a first side of the light steering optic 16. The light steering optic 16 is configured to steer the light 30 received from the waveguide 14 towards the collimating optic 18.
