An illumination system comprises a light source optically coupled with an optical fiber (20). The optical fiber (20) includes a light emitting region extending along a portion of its length. The light emitting region includes a plurality of optical elements (30) disposed about a first longitudinal axis (38) extending along the surface of the optical fiber (20) and a plurality of optical elements (40) disposed about a second longitudinal axis (48) extending along the surface of the fiber (20). The second longitudinal axis (48) is displaced from the first longitudinal axis (38). In use, light from the light source is injected into the optical fiber (20) and propagates along the fiber according to Snell's law. A portion of the light propagating through the fiber (20) is reflected from the optical elements (30, 40) and is extracted from the fiber (20).

Un système d'éclairage comporte une source lumineuse couplée optiquement avec une fibre optique (20). Cette dernière comprend une région photoémettrice s'étendant sur une portion de sa longueur. Cette région photoémettrice contient une pluralité d'éléments optiques (30) disposés autour d'un premier axe longitudinal (38) s'étendant le long de la surface de la fibre optique (20) et une pluralité d'éléments optiques (40) disposés autour d'un deuxième axe longitudinal (48) s'étendant le long de la surface de la fibre (20). Ce deuxième axe longitudinal (48) est décalé par rapport au premier axe longitudinal (38). En service, de la lumière émanant de la source lumineuse est injectée dans la fibre optique (20) et se propage le long de la fibre conformément à la loi de Snell. Une portion de la lumière se propageant à travers la fibre (20) est réfléchie par les éléments optiques (30, 40) et est extraite de la fibre (20).
