A laminated optical disk, applied for lighting system or solar energy system, includes a plurality of annular lenses, a base and a circular light guiding unit. The annular lenses are arranged in order from center to outside to form a disk-structure. Each annular lens has a light-input curved surface and a light-output curved surface respectively matching the different thickness of the base. The light-input curved surface is opposite to the center. The light-output curved surface is opposite to the light-input curved surface, and facing to the center. The light is incident on the light-input curved surface, refracted and tended to concentrate by the light-input curved surface. Besides, the light exiting from the annular lens is to be refracted to the direction of the center by the light-output curved surface. The base of the laminated optical disk can significantly improve the light leakage problem by different annular lenses.

Laminated optical disk

A prism array for collecting light is provided. The prism array includes a first prism module and a coupling joint. The first prism module includes a first guiding prism and at least one first reflective prism. The first reflective prism is close to the first guiding prism, wherein light travels from the first guiding prism to the first reflective prism, and is reflected thereby. The coupling joint includes a first light pipe, a second light pipe, a third light pipe and a light transmitting pipe, wherein the first light pipe, the second light pipe and the third light pipe are coupled to an end of the light transmitting pipe, the third light pipe corresponds to the first reflective prism, and the light travels from the first reflective prism, passing through the third light pipe to the light transmitting pipe.
