Abstract
An optical device may include a bottom surface having a peripheral edge. The optical device may also include one or more first lateral surfaces extending from the peripheral edge of the bottom surface. Each of the first lateral surfaces may meet the peripheral edge at a first interior angle less than 180°. The optical device may also include one or more second lateral surfaces extending from the one or more first lateral sides. Each of the one or more second lateral surfaces may meet a respective first lateral surface of the one or more first lateral surfaces at a second interior angle of less than 180°. The optical device may also include a top end coupled with the one or more second lateral surfaces.
Claims10
An optical device, comprising:
- a first optical body manufactured from a first material comprising:
- a first base surface;
- one or more first lateral surfaces, extending from the first base surface at interior angles of less than 180°;
- a first end opposite the first base surface, wherein the first end is narrower than the first base surface;
- and
- one or more second lateral surfaces that extend between and couple the one or more first lateral surfaces and the first end, wherein a junction between the one or more first lateral surfaces and the one or more second lateral surfaces defines a largest lateral dimension of the first optical body;
- and
- a second optical body manufactured from a second material, and coupled to the first optical body, the second optical body comprising:
- a second base surface;
- one or more third lateral surfaces extending from the second base surface at interior angles of less than 180°;
- a second end, opposite the second base surface, wherein the second end is narrower than the second base surface;
- and
- one or more fourth lateral surfaces that extend between and couple the one or more third lateral surfaces and the second end, wherein:
- a junction between the one or more third lateral surfaces and the one or more fourth lateral surfaces defines a largest lateral dimension of the second optical body;
- and
- the first base surface and the second base surface are coupled with one another.
