| Title: |
Apparatus and Method of Using Light Sources of Differing Wavelengths in an Unitized Beam |
| Abstract: |
A plurality of light sources, each radiating a color of light; a
corresponding plurality of reflectors are arranged and configured so that
the reflector reflects light from a predetermined one of the plurality of
light sources. The reflected light from the plurality of reflectors is
mixed to generate a composite light from the plurality of light sources.
A sequenced or stacked array of the light sources and dichroic reflectors
mixes the reflected light from the reflectors. Each reflector is
positioned on a common optical axis with an aligned corresponding one of
the plurality of light sources to provide a light source and reflector
pair. Each reflector is coated with a dichroic filter material which
reflects the color of light radiated by the corresponding light source of
the pair, and which transmits light radiated by all preceding light
sources in the sequenced array.
