Abstract Attenuation of light in light guides is a well understood phenomenon from the point of view of the basic underlying physics. Particularly in the case of light guides having a macroscopic cross section, ray trace modeling captures all of the key physics and makes it possible to accurately predict the decay of radiant flux as a function of length in the guide. Unfortunately, in typical applications in the field of illuminating engineering, such calculations are prohibitively difficult… Expand

Radiation transfer through specular passages—a simple approximation
Abstract A new technique is developed for approximating exchange factors for specular radiation passages. It is shown that for a large class of configurations, even with curved reflector surfaces,… Expand

Abstract Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPC) are relevant for solar energy collection because they achieve the highest possible concentration for any acceptance angle (tracking requirement). The… Expand
Transmission of 3-D images by means of lens guides.
TLDR
A simple lens guide can be used to present to an observer a lifelike 3-D image of a distant object, suggesting the use of lens guides within buildings to look outside from interior rooms and in some applications now served by electronic closed-circuit television. Expand
