Abstract:
1. A device for transmitting and reflecting light between a plurality of lenses, comprising: a multi-sided transparent body having a detector-emitter side, a waveguide side, a reflector side, and an indent with a light splitting surface formed as one piece with the body at an interior end of the indent; a first lens formed as one piece with the body at the detector-emitter side of the body; a second lens formed as one piece with the body at the waveguide side of the body; a third lens formed as one piece with the body at the detector-emitter side of the body, wherein light from the second lens is partially reflected by the light splitting surface to the detector-emitter side of the body and partially passed by the light splitting surface; and upper and lower reflector-supporting angled surfaces formed as one piece with the body located adjacent to and at an exterior end of the indent; and a reflector disposed onto the angled surfaces, closing the indent, directing the partially passed light from the light splitting surface to the third lens and directing light from the third lens to the light splitting surface.
