Abstract
A multi-optic system has a unitary lens with two or more co-molded individual optics molded such that each individual optic is adjacent at least one other individual optic, each individual optic configured to be illuminated with a respective radiation source, and a skirt extending from a perimeter of the front surface of the unitary lens. An optical-blocking barrier is positioned between adjacent individual optics and configured to prevent transmission of undesired source emissions between the adjacent individual optics. A substrate on which radiation sources are carried and at least one of the skirt and the optical-blocking barrier enclose the multi-optic system.
Claims20
A multi-optic system, comprising:
- a unitary lens comprising two or more co-molded individual total internal reflection (TIR) optics molded such that each individual optic is adjacent at least one other individual optic, each individual optic configured to be illuminated with a respective radiation source;
- and
- an optical-blocking barrier positioned between the two or more co-molded individual TIR optics and around a perimeter of the two or more co-molded individual TIR optics, the optical-blocking barrier configured to interfere with transmission of undesired source emissions between the two or more co-molded individual TIR optics.
