Abstract
A device for scattering light emitted from at least one light source includes, among other things, a light coupler configured for placement adjacent to the light source. The light coupler includes a first region proximal the light source where the first region has a first index of refraction and a second region abutting the first region to define a boundary therebetween. Being distal to the light source, the second region has a second index of refraction that is greater than the first index of refraction. Light emitted from the light source is scattered as a result of travelling through the first region and the second region.
