Patent ID: 7067836

Claim:
A radiation information recording system comprising: (a) a first tapered non-imaging optical element configured to accept a light input and provide a collimated light output; (b) a first prism having first, second, and third surfaces, said first surface of said first prism adjacent said first tapered non-imaging optical element and in optical communication therewith; (c) a second tapered non-imaging optical element having a first surface and a second surface distally opposed said first surface, said first surface of said second tapered non-imaging optical element being adjacent said second surface of said a first prism and in optical communication therewith; (d) an image aperture ( 20 ) adjacent said second surface of said second tapered non-imaging optical element and in optical communication therewith; (e) a second prism having first, second, and third surfaces, said first surface of said second prism adjacent said third surface of said first prism and in optical communication therewith; (f) a beam-splitter located between said first surface of said second prism adjacent said third surface of said first prism; and (g) a third tapered non-imaging optical element having a first surface and a second surface distally opposed said first surface, said first surface of said third tapered non-imaging optical element being adjacent said second surface of said second prism and in optical communication therewith.
