Abstract:
The present invention describes a collimating system comprising a plurality of collimating apparatuses forming an array. Each collimating apparatus comprises a light source  12 , and a collimating optic  18 a  configured to collimate light received from the light source  12 . The collimating system further comprises a homogenising optical arrangement  50  spaced apart from the array and configured to extend substantially perpendicular to collimated light exiting each collimating apparatus. The homogenising optical arrangement  50  is configured to receive light from each collimating apparatus, the received light having a non-uniform relative radiance profile. The homogenising optical arrangement  50  is configured such that light received from adjacent collimating apparatuses superimposes on exiting the homogenising optical arrangement  50 , and forms a flattened relative radiance profile  48 b.

Claim (Index 33):
A collimating system as claimed in any one of  claims 29  to  32 , wherein the waveguide and the collimating optic are both physically located on a first side of the light steering optic.
