High efficiency optical coupler

An optical coupler conversion system comprising:

• a first reflector, wherein said first reflector is a conic and includes a first reflector vertex, a first conic focus, and an aperture at said first reflector vertex;
• a second reflector including a second reflector vertex and coaxial with said first reflector, wherein said first and second reflectors face one another;
• a light source generally at said second reflector vertex and generally at said first conic focus;
• and
• a negative element aligned with said aperture of said first reflector vertex and defining an interior, wherein said second reflector is a conic including a second conic focus located within said interior of said negative element.

A light coupler for creating a light output, said light coupler comprising:

• a light source;
• a first conic reflector including a first vertex, an optical aperture at said first vertex, and a first conic focus at said light source;
• a second conic reflector facing said first conic reflector and operatively joined with said first conic reflector for creating an enclosure, said second conic reflector including a second vertex substantially at said first conic focus, said light source tangentially joined with said second conic reflector within said enclosure substantially at said second vertex;
• and
• a negative element aligned with said optical aperture in said first conic reflector, wherein said second conic reflector includes a second conic focus located within said negative element.

An optical coupler conversion system comprising:

• a first reflective enclosure including a first conic reflector and a second conic reflector, said first conic reflector including a first focus, a first vertex and a first aperture at said first vertex, said second conic reflector including a second vertex at said first conic focus, wherein said first and second conic reflectors face one another and are operatively joined with one another;
• a second reflective enclosure including a third conic reflector having a third focus, a third vertex and a fourth conic reflector having a fourth vertex at said third conic focus, wherein said third and fourth conic reflectors face one another and are operatively joined with one another, said second vertex of said second conic reflector being joined with said fourth vertex of said fourth conic reflector and defining an opening therethrough wherein said first reflective enclosure is in fluid communication with said second reflective enclosure via said opening;
• a light source at said vertex of said second and fourth conic reflectors;
• and
• a negative element aligned with said aperture of said first reflector.

An optical coupler conversion system comprising:

• a first curved reflector including a first reflector vertex and an aperture at said first reflector vertex;
• a second reflector facing said first curved reflector;
• a light source adjacent said second reflector, said light source including a light output;
• and
• a negative element aligned with said aperture of said first reflector vertex, wherein said negative element includes an interior and is positioned so that light output reflected by said first and second reflectors, sequentially, enters said interior of said negative element before converging at a focal plane.
