Abstract
An illuminator for irradiating targets to change their properties comprises at least one LED having spectral properties that are capable of interacting with a target to effect changes in its properties, a non-imaging concentrator for collecting radiation from the LED and emitting it as a spatially and spectrally uniform beam over a predetermined solid angle, and a light guide coupled to the exit aperture of the non-imaging concentrator to direct radiation to the target.
