Radiating summator

摘要

The inventive radiating summator makes it possible to obtain a high-brightness output integral radiation beam with a uniform exposure of a receiving surface, and consists of the following: a set of radiation sources (1) strictly oriented with respect to an optical system which comprises an optical summing unit (7) placed between units (6 and 8) collimating the radiation on perpendicular planes which are parallel to sides of radiation bands or their pictures. Said units are embodied in the form of a prism and comprise one output face (15) and at least one input face (14) which is perpendicular to optical axes of corresponding radiation beams of the radiation sources (1), and reflecting faces (11). The reflecting faces are arranged in such a way that it is possible to receive a complete internal reflection of the corresponding radiation beams of the radiation sources. After reflection the optical axes of the radiation beams of the radiation sources are positioned in parallel on a plane parallel with the short sides of the radiation bands and it is possible to ensure a partial concealment of the radiation beams of the radiation sources at least on a part of the length thereof.
