Abstract
An electromagnetic radiation collecting and condensing optical system includes a number of cascaded concave reflectors and a number of electromagnetic radiation or light sources which radiate light energy onto the concave reflectors in such manner that the energy from each source is combined by the reflectors into a single output which is used to illuminate a target, such as a single core optical fiber.
