Abstract
A prism array light redistribution apparatus for an eye imaging system including light transmitting fibers, light receiving fibers, and a micro prism array optically coupled to bridge the light transmitting fibers and the light receiving fibers. The array may be further configured to receive light having a bell-shaped angular distribution from the light transmitting fibers and refract the received light to enter the light receiving fibers such that a square-shaped angular distribution of light emits from a light emitting end of the light receiving fibers.
