Abstract:
An illumination system incorporating a multi-faceted mirror in operative communication with an array of discrete illumination sources. The multi-faceted mirror may accept incident light beams from discrete illumination sources located at different positions and then deliver a reflected output to a common location for direct acceptance by an optical/imaging device or by a light guide transmission device operatively connected to a downstream optical/imaging device. Individual light sources may be selected and/or combined in a defined sequence by selectively activating and deactivating such light sources electronically with no need for moving parts. By pulsing different illumination sources, the optical/imaging system may be provided with a feed of narrow-band illumination for use in imaging. Outputs from several illumination sources can also be combined if desired to produce a custom-tuned illumination spectrum for a particular application.

Claim (Index 19):
The illumination system as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the faceted perimeter surfaces are of substantially trapezoidal geometry and wherein the mirror further comprises a base portion disposed between the bottom surface and the faceted perimeter surfaces, wherein the base portion comprises a plurality of substantially vertical lower perimeter surfaces of rectangular or square geometry disposed in side-by-side relation about the perimeter of the mirror in substantially aligned relation with the faceted perimeter surfaces.
