Abstract[English]
Optical systems for forming uniform illumination are disclosed. The optical system includes a light source coupled to a plurality of first light carriers providing a plurality of light intensities and a second light carrier coupled to the plurality of first light carriers. The second light carrier spatially homogenizes the plurality of light intensities to form a homogenized light intensity. The optical system further includes an illumination module coupled to the second light carrier and operable to receive the homogenized light intensity.[French]
L'invention concerne des systèmes optiques pour former un éclairage uniforme. Le système optique comprend une source de lumière couplée à une pluralité de premiers supports de lumière permettant l'obtention d'une pluralité d'intensités de lumière et un second support de lumière couplé à la pluralité de premiers supports de lumière. Le second support de lumière homogénéise spatialement la pluralité d'intensités de lumière pour former une intensité de lumière homogénéisée. Le système optique comprend en outre un module d'éclairage couplé au second support de lumière et utilisable pour recevoir l'intensité de lumière homogénéisée.
