Abstract

Optical or light diffusers (or, simply, 'diffusers') designed and manufactured to include numerous facets randomly arranged in cells or sets on the diffuser outer (or front) surface in which the planar faces or outward-facing surfaces have orientations and transmission angles (as may be defined by direction cosines of normal) to redirect received light to a region or portion of a predefined light distribution. The diffusers are optically designed to produce a user-specified distribution of light. The diffusers can be engineered through the configuration of the facets on its (light transmission surface to produce nearly any type of light distribution or shape, and the diffuser design facilitates their manufacture using extrusion processes as well as other fabrication techniques.
