<p>The inventive system (10), which is used in transmitting illumination from a central source (12) to a variety of remote locations, efficiently couples the light originating from a lamp, or similar source (12), into a multiplicity of flexible macroscopic fibers (40). The combination of several elements of the inventive system results in a very efficient transfer of the energy of the light source to the fibers (40). Light from the lamp is fed to a ring-shaped configuration of ports (38), with each port having one or more flexible macroscopic fibers (40) connected thereto.</p> |
