Abstract
The invention is an apparatus and method for providing substantially uniform high peak irradiation of a three-dimensional object) with at least one curved surface (). The apparatus includes a source of light () for providing light to irradiate the at least one curved surface of the three-dimensional object; a first curved light reflector () which reflects and converges light from the source into a first converged light beam (); a second curved light reflector () which reflects and converges the first converged light beam into a second converged light beam () with the second light beam being redirected in direction relative to the first light beam toward a target area at which the three-dimensional object is positioned when being irradiated; and at least one light reflector () which extends from at least one of the first and second curved light reflectors which reflects and concentrates the second light beam toward the target area at which the three-dimensional object is positioned when being irradiated.
