Abstract:
A system for injecting light, includes an optical coupler having: a lens having a convex entrance face of radial extent R1, a convex central exit face and a peripheral exit face; a cavity, containing the entrance face and with an entrance lateral surface; and a peripheral reflective surface, encircling the lens and the cavity, extending beyond the entrance face; an optical collector, with an entrance, a collecting surface facing the central exit face, and a numerical aperture NA smaller than 1, the collector including a jacket having an end surface; and a member for aligning the optical collector, the optical coupler and the aligning member being integrally formed or being indirectly or directly fastened together, the central distance eF on the axis Oz between the collecting surface and the central exit face being nonzero and smaller than 5 mm, and the system including a stop for the end surface.

Claim (Index 26):
An illuminating system, comprising:\n a light source configured to emit light; an optomechanical system optically coupled to the light source, said optomechanical system comprising\n an optical coupler that comprises a body of axis Oz, O being a center of an entrance of the optical coupler, including integrally formed:\n a lens of axis coincident with the axis Oz, of maximum width W, the lens comprising\n a convex entrance face of radial extent R1; \n a convex central exit face, defined by a central extent H, on the axis Oz, and of radial extent R A ; and \n a peripheral exit face that comprises a part joined to the central exit face, said part being flat or concave or frustroconical and flared in the direction of an exit of the optomechanical system; \n \n a cavity, of axis coincident with the axis Oz, comprising a bottom containing the convex entrance face, and comprising an entrance lateral surface; \n a peripheral reflective surface, encircling the lens and the cavity, of axis coincident with the axis Oz, able to internally reflect light emitted by the light source and refracted by the entrance lateral surface, said peripheral reflective surface extending beyond the convex entrance face in a direction of the exit of the optical coupler; \n \n an optical collector of axis coincident with the axis Oz, with a collecting surface, facing the convex central exit face, of millimeter-size radial extent R INT , and a numerical aperture NA smaller than 1, the optical collector comprising a jacket having an end surface, the convex central exit face and the peripheral exit face being spaced apart from the collecting surface, the optical collector comprising a bundle of optical fibers to transmit said light; and \n an aligning member for aligning the optical collector with the optical coupler, the optical coupler and the aligning member being integrally formed or being indirectly or directly fastened together, \n a central distance e F  on the axis Oz between the collecting surface and the convex central exit face being nonzero and smaller than 5 mm, \n and the optomechanical system comprising a stop surface against which the end surface abuts, \n wherein the end surface of the jacket extends toward the axis Oz beyond the stop surface, and the end surface is facing the peripheral exit face; \n a light-extracting medium optically coupled to said optomechanical system to transmit light outputted by the optomechanical system, and a carrier configured to support said light-extracting medium.
