Abstract:
Light guide assemblies including first, second and third light guides, a first optical coupling component disposed between and attached to the first and second light guides, and a second optical coupling component disposed between and attached to the second and third light guides are described. The first optical coupling component is adapted to couple light between the first and second light guides, and the second optical coupling component is adapted to couple light the between second and third light guides. The first light guide, the second light guide and the first optical coupling component are coextensive over a first region of the assembly, and the second light guide, the third light guide and the second optical coupling component are coextensive over a different second region of the assembly.

Claim (Index 27):
An optical system comprising:\n first, second and third light guides, the first, second and third light guides each having a first end disposed adjacent a first end of the optical system and a second end disposed adjacent an opposite second end of the optical system, the second light guide including a light extractor configured to extract light from the optical system through a side of the second light guide; a first optical coupling component disposed between and attached to the first and second light guides and adapted to couple light between the first and second light guides; a second optical coupling component disposed between and attached to the second and third light guides and adapted to couple light between the second and third light guides; a first light source disposed to inject light into the first end of the first light guide; and a second light source disposed to inject light into the second end of the third light guide, wherein the optical system is configured such that light from the first light source is substantially uniformly extracted primarily from a first portion of the second light guide adjacent the second end of the second light guide, and light from the second light source is substantially uniformly extracted primarily from a second portion of the second light guide disposed between the first portion of the second light guide and the first end of the second light guide and at most partially overlapping with the first portion of the second light guide, and wherein each of the first and second portions of the second light guide have a length of at least 20 percent of a length of the second light guide.
