Patent Number: 10502391 
Title: Light Collector with a Plurality of Lenslets Packed in an Optimized Dense Circular Pattern 
Abstract:

The present invention relates to a light collector adapted to collect light from a plurality of light sources and where the light collector comprises a plurality of lenslets collecting light from the light sources and convert the light into a plurality of light beams propagating along an optical axis. The lenslets are arranged in a dense pattern, where at least 12 outermost adjacent lenslets is located along an outer circular boundary having the same radial distance to a center of the light collector. The dense pattern has been obtained by optimizing a packaging density defined by a ratio of a sum of areas of circular cross sections of the lenslets and an area of the outer circular boundary and that the packaging density is at least 0.79.
