Abstract

The present invention discloses an optical radiating apparatus constructed on one end of a light-conducting optical fiber such that, upon encountering this radiator, light is caused to leave the fiber and radiate in a spherical pattern with respect to the end of the fiber. This optical radiator is constructed such that the pattern of radiated light is nearly uniform in intensity in a spherical pattern, without areas of light intensity significantly different from the average distribution around the surface of a sphere. The present invention also discloses a method to manufacture the above-described light radiating apparatus, ensuring uniformity of light intensity and the ability to transmit relatively intense light without developing regions of optical, thermal or mechanical damage.
