A light guide illumination device and system comprises a light source a light redirecting slab and a light guide slab assembly. The light redirecting slab includes a generally planar face having optical redirecting elements the optical redirecting elements having respective optical coupling surfaces situated distally from the planar face. The light guide slab assembly includes a planar face having an optically transmissive interface layer assembled onto a first planar face of the light guide slab and optically coupled to receive transmitted light directed from the light source. The light guide slab is pressed onto the redirecting slab such that the interface layer is deformed creating optical bonds at the optical coupling surfaces of the optical redirecting elements the formed optical bonds providing optical apertures for light transmission therethrough. |
