Abstract
A light collector for collecting and detecting light emitted by, reflected from, or transmitted through a scanned information medium. The collector includes a planar mirror and side by side pyramidal mirrors which collect light and direct it to a photodetector located at a centrally located aperture in the planar mirror. The collector preferably collects light emitted by a storage phosphor which has been stimulated by stimulating light passed through aligned slots in the collector.
