An optical homogenizing and combining apparatus, comprises a one piece,
hollow, tubular body having a first input leg, a second input leg and an
output leg, each leg having a polygonal cross-section and highly
reflective interior surfaces in accordance with an embodiment. The body
has a shape corresponding to first and second bent tubes, the tubes being
truncated along a plane and joined at a junction lying in the plane. The
a first end of the first tube defines the first input leg, a first end of
the second tube defines the second input leg, and a second end of the
first tube and a second end of the second tube define the output leg.
