Abstract
A spreading optics system distributes electromagnetic (EM) waves emitted by an emitter having an emission vector. The spreading optics system includes reflective surfaces. The reflective surfaces include concave first reflector having a concave cross section in a plane substantially perpendicular the emission vector. The reflective surfaces further include a convex second reflector arranged further from the emitter than the concave first reflector. The convex second reflector has a convex cross section in a second plane substantially parallel the first plane. The reflective surfaces are configured to divergently redirect the EM waves into a vector fan at a predetermined angle relative to the emission vector.

A spreading optics system for distributing electromagnetic (EM) waves emitted by an emitter having an emission vector, the spreading optics system comprising:
- reflective surfaces including:
- a concave first reflector having a concave cross section in a first plane substantially perpendicular to the emission vector;
- and
- a convex second reflector arranged further from the emitter than the concave first reflector, and having a convex cross section in a second plane substantially parallel the first plane;
- the reflective surfaces configured to divergently redirect the EM waves into a vector fan at a predetermined angle relative to the emission vector.
A spreading optics system for distributing electromagnetic (EM) waves emitted by an emitter having an emission vector, the spreading optics system comprising:
- reflective surfaces including:
- a concave hemiconic first reflector;
- and
- a convex hemiconic second reflector arranged further from the emitter than the concave hemiconic first reflector,
- the reflective surfaces configured to divergently redirect the EM waves into a vector fan at a predetermined angle relative to the emission vector, and the concave and the convex hemiconic first and second reflectors are laterally and axially offset from each other relative to the emission vector.
A spreading optics system for distributing electromagnetic (EM) waves emitted by an emitter having an emission vector, the spreading optics system comprising:
- reflective surfaces including:
- a concave hemiconic first reflector;
- and
- a convex hemiconic second reflector arranged further from the emitter than the concave hemiconic first reflector,
- the reflective surfaces configured to divergently redirect the EM waves into a vector fan at a predetermined angle relative to the emission vector;
- and
- an optical component configured to permit the EM waves to egress from the emitter to the concave hemiconic first reflector and the convex hemiconic second reflector.
