Title:

LIGHT SOURCE SYSTEM HAVING A PLURALITY OF LIGHT-CONDUCTING ROUTES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/089102

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

In a light source system that combines a light source module having a light source and a light source light-emitting end, and an illumination module that is removably attached mechanically to the light source module and has a light-coupling terminal, a light-conducting member, and a light-emitting member, a first light-conducting route is defined as a first light source light-emitting end (32), a first light-coupling terminal (70), a first light-conducting member (76), and a first light-emitting member (78); and a second light-conducting route is defined as a second light source, a second light source light-emitting end (52), a second light-coupling terminal (72), a second light-conducting member (82), and a second light-emitting member (88). To enable building the first or second light-conducting route, the first light source light-emitting end and the first light-coupling terminal are constructed according to the desired first optical specification. The second light source light-emitting end and the second light-coupling terminal are constructed according to the desired second optical specification.
