Light transfer component

摘要

The present invention provides a light transfer component formed from a material that is transparent for light of a predetermined range of wavelengths. The light transfer component comprises a first substantially flat portion, a second rounded portion, and an intermediate portion disposed between the first and the second portion. The light transfer component is arranged for guiding light from the first portion through the intermediate portion to the second portion in a manner such that the light will not experience a reduction in cross-sectional area of more than 20% of the material through which it is guided.
