Angle amplifying optics using plane and ellipsoidal reflectors
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5104611
An optical system for providing a wide angle input beam into ellipsoidal laser fusion target illumination systems is described. The optical system comprises one or more pairs of centrally apertured plane and ellipsoidal mirrors disposed to accept the light input from a conventional lens of modest focal length and thickness, to increase the angular divergence thereof to a value equivalent to that of fast lenses, and to direct the light into the ellipsoidal target illumination system.
