A right angle light diverter includes a hexagonal tube that is bent at a
right angle that is coated with a highly reflective coating on the inside
surface. An incoming light beam may be homogenized upon entering an input
port of the hexagonal tube and may be evenly diverted at a right angle at
a reflection section while the homogenized profile may be maintained. A
right angle optical splitter may include at least one additional output
section. An incoming light beam may be homogenized and may be split into
at least two outgoing beams that may be diverted at right angles at
reflection sections. The right angle light diverter and the right angle
optical splitter may be suitable for, but not limited to, applications in
aircraft industry, both military and commercial. They may be used, for
example, in connection with airborne laser programs, in commercial
airplanes, and in military jets.
