Embodiments of the present invention are directed methods, apparatuses and
system for establishing a linear radiant electromagnet energy field. In
one embodiment of the invention, a system for providing a linear field of
electromagnetic energy includes a laser, at least one length of single
mode or multimode optical fiber including a core having a stitched
diffraction grating of predetermined pitch for diffracting
electromagnetic energy in a predetermined direction, a longitudinal
optical element having a convex surface and a length corresponding to the
length of optical fiber, wherein the optical element is sized such that
the convex surface is positioned at a predetermined distance from the
optical fiber and in a direction to receive electromagnetic energy
diffracted by the grating of the optical fiber thereby establishing a
linear lighting field and a lenticular array.
