Patent ID: 8398287

Claim:
A multicolor light source, comprising: a first light source operable to emit a first light of a first color; a second light source operable to emit a second light of a second color; a first wave guide optically connected to the first light source; and a second wave guide optically connected to the second light source and the first wave guide, wherein the combination of the first wave guide and the second wave guide operably couple the first light to the second light, thereby creating an outputted light having at least one aspect, other than hue, different from the first light and second light, wherein the operably coupling comprises one of: scattering the first light and the second light in a predetermined pattern to increase a visually-perceived uniformity of a combined color of the outputted light; or focusing the first light and the second light in a predetermined pattern to increase a visually-perceived separation of colors of the outputted light.
