CA 2346850

A remote light source lighting system (20) is provided having an illuminator assembly (30) including a housing (32). Held within the housing (32) is a high intensity light source (22) for providing light energy to a fiber optic cable bundle (24) connected to the housing (32) and facing the light source (22). The cable bundle (24) includes a plurality of plastic optical fibers wherein at least one of the terminal ends of the bundle is formed by molding an optical quality resin around an optically transparent ferrule that binds the exposed ends of the optical fibers. The housing (32) further includes a separate air plenum (36) containing a blower (50). The blower (50) produces a high velocity air stream directed precisely at the terminal end of the cable bundle (24) adjacent the light source (22) to cool the terminal end.

L'invention concerne un système d'éclairage (20) pourvu d'une source lumineuse distante, comprenant un ensemble illuminateur (30) doté d'un boîtier (32). Une source lumineuse (22) d'intensité élevée, enfermée dans le boîtier (32), fournit de l'énergie lumineuse à un faisceau de câbles (24) à fibres optiques relié audit boîtier (32), et opposé à la source lumineuse (22). Le faisceau de câbles (24) comprend une pluralité de fibres optiques en plastique, les extrémités de terminaison du faisceau au moins étant fabriquées par moulage d'une résine de qualité optique autour d'une ferrule optiquement transparente, qui relie les extrémités exposées des fibres optiques. Le boîtier (32) comprend également une chambre de répartition (36) d'air séparée contenant un ventilateur (50). Le ventilateur (50) produit un courant d'air à grande vitesse dirigé, précisément sur l'extrémité de terminaison du câble (24) adjacent à la source lumineuse (22), afin de refroidir ladite extrémité de terminaison.
