CA 2175336

An optical waveguide for transmitting radiation is provided. In one embodiment the waveguide includes a flexible tube (4) of a material substantially transparent to the radiation, and a liquid core (1) filling the tube and having a refractive index greater than that of the tube material. In another embodiment the waveguide includes a tube (4) having an inner lining (5), and a liquid core (1) filling the tube and having a refractive index greater than that of the lining material. In a still further embodiment there is provided an optical wavegudie for transmitting radiation and functioning as a non-imaging concentrator (6), which waveguide includes a tube having an input end, an output end and a tube body (4), and a liquid core (1) filling the tube; wherein the diameter of the tube at the input end and/or the output end is greater than the diameter of the tube body.

Guide d'ondes optique destiné à transmettre des rayonnements. Dans un mode de réalisation, ledit guide d'ondes comprend un tube souple (4) constitué d'un matériau pratiquement transparent aux rayonnements et un coeur liquide (1) qui remplit le tube et possède un indice de réfraction supérieur à celui du matériau du tube. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, ledit guide d'ondes comprend un tube (4) possédant une garniture interne (5) et un coeur liquide (1) remplissant ledit tube et possédant un indice de réfraction supérieur à celui du matériau de garniture. Dans un autre mode de réalisation encore, un guide d'ondes est destiné à transmettre des rayonnements et à fonctionner comme concentrateur (6) non imageur, ledit guide d'ondes comprenant un tube doté d'une extrémité d'entrée, d'une extrémité de sortie et d'un corps (4) de tube, ainsi qu'un coeur liquide (1) remplissant le tube. Le diamètre du tube à l'extrémité d'entrée et/ou à l'extrémité de sortie est supérieur au diamètre de corps de tube.
