A device for modifying light distribution includes a transparent body including a first surface, a second surface on an opposite side of the transparent body, and a third surface joining the first surface. The second surface defines a cavity opening away from the first surface. The second surface reflects, towards the third surface, at least a part of light received via the first surface. The third surface reflects, towards the second surface, the light reflected from the second surface. The second surface acts as a light egress surface for the light reflected from the third surface. The third surface includes a groove so that a part of the light reflected from the second surface propagates across the groove prior to being reflected from the third surface. The light distribution can be tuned by adjusting the shape, the size, and/or the location of the groove.
A device for modifying light distribution, the device comprising a transparent body made of transparent material having refractive index greater than one, and the transparent body comprising a first surface, a second surface on an opposite side of the transparent body with respect to the first surface, and at least one third surface joining the first surface, wherein:
