Abstract
An apparatus for treating material with radiant energy, comprises a first reflector having a first object focus disposed outside thereof; and a second reflector having a second object focus. The first reflector is disposed with respect to the second reflector such that the second object focus is disposed further away from the first reflector than the first object focus. A radiant energy source is disposed within the first reflector whereby radiant energy is directed to the first object focus. An auxiliary reflector is disposed at the first object focus whereby radiant energy from the source is reflected to the second reflector and thence to the second object focus where the material being treated is disposed, whereby the second object focus permits the product to be positioned farther than the first object focus.
