Abstract
This invention relates to a coaxial diffuser optical fiber wave guide incident radiation energy concentrator using internal diffusion to scatter incident radiation energy into guided modes to effect a cumulative propagation of the energy along the wave guide axis which creates a concentration of the incident radiation energy at the collector's edges.
