Abstract
The invention describes a heating system () for heating a body () of a preform having a material thickness bounded by a first surface () and a second surface (). The heating system () comprises at least a light source arrangement () which is arranged to emit a number of directed light beams () and a coupling arrangement () realized to deliberately couple light from the light source arrangement () in a specific direction into the body () during at least a certain minimum period such that the light is essentially guided along a longer path () between the first () and second surface (). Furthermore, the invention concerns a method of heating a body () of a preform.
