Abstract
An optical system for a multi-color, multi-emitter LED-based lighting device can include a lens array. The lens array can include a number of color-mixing rod members extending parallel to each other along an optical axis, the color-mixing rod members being arranged and spaced so that the rear end of each color-mixing rod member aligns with a different one of the emitters. A beam-forming section can be formed at the front ends of the color mixing rod members. The beam-forming section can include nonplanar (e.g., convex or concave) front surface features, each nonplanar front surface feature being aligned with a front end of a corresponding one of the color-mixing rod members. The beam-forming section and color-mixing rod members can be formed as a unitary structure.
