An optical waveguide concentrator and photocuring device with the optical
waveguide concentrator having at least one solid optically transparent
member for combining the output radiant energy from a plurality of
optoelectronic light emitting devices mounted in a circular array facing
the solid optically transparent member with the optically transparent
member having an input surface, an output surface and a sloping surface
intersecting the input and output surface to form an acute angle and with
with each optoelectronic light emitting device having an optical axis
directed parallel to or inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the
concentrator. The geometry of the solid optically transparent member may
be conical or hyperbolic with the sloping surface tapered to form a
tapered angle of between 5.degree. and 15.degree..
