Patent ID: 8842366

Claim:
A transmissive body, comprising: (a) a transmissive element disposed to receive, confine and transmit optical signals in planar form in a first plane; (b) a pair of collimation and redirection elements disposed to substantially collimate said optical signal received from said transmissive element and then redirect said collimated optical signal, wherein said transmissive element is disposed to receive said optical signal from an optical source and transmit said optical signal to said collimation and redirection element in a first plane, and said pair of collimation and redirection elements are disposed to produce a corresponding pair of substantially collimated signals in a substantially planar form in a second plane substantially parallel with said first plane, wherein said transmissive element is configured to receive optical signals from more than one optical source, and wherein said pair of substantially collimated planar signals propagate in substantially perpendicular directions.
