Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and system for the efficient transmission of electromagnetic radiation through a channel. An electromagnetic radiation guide of the present invention may include an optical channel having a refractive and transmissive index capable of guiding electromagnetic radiation through the guide. The electromagnetic radiation guide may also include an optical prismatic section capable of redirecting electromagnetic waves to allow increased light transmission by reducing losses from refracted light rays.
