A multi-color LED illumination device and specifically a lens comprising a cylindrical opening extending into the lens from a light entry region at which one or more LEDs are configured. A concave spherical surface extends across the entirety of the light exit region of the lens, and a TIR outer surface shaped as a CPC extends between the light entry region and the light exit region. There are various diffusion surfaces placed on the sidewall surface of the cylindrical opening, as well as its upper planar surface and, depending on whether glare control is not needed, the exit surface of the lens. Lunes can also be configured on the sidewall surfaces of the cylindrical opening and if lessening glare is needed, also on the TIR outer reflective surface. The combination of lunes, diffusion elements, and the overall configuration of the lens provides improved color mixing and output brightness according to one embodiment. According to another embodiment, diffusion elements are manufactured and possibly increased on only select surfaces but not on the light exit region in order to lessen glare. Three light interactions in a first portion of light and two interactions in a second portion of light can improve color mixing and beam control. Those interactions includes two refractions either with an intermediate reflection or not, all of which are necessary to achieve the improved performance of the multi-color LED illumination device and lens hereof.

An optical device includes a lens mirror array, in which transparent optical elements are connected to each other along a first direction, and a case, in which the lens mirror array is contained and fixed. The case includes at least three holes through which a manufacturing jig can pass. The jig can be used to press the lens mirror array in a direction intersecting the first direction at three or more positions on the lens mirror array to deform the lens mirror array to correct for possible distortions in the optical device prior to the fixing of the lens mirror array to the case.

An optical path folding element includes an incident surface, a path folding surface and an exiting surface. The incident surface allows a light ray to pass into the optical path folding element. The path folding surface folds the light ray from the incident surface. The exiting surface allows the light ray to pass through and depart from the optical path folding element.

A transmitter of a wireless power transfer and data communication system comprising a transmitter system including a transmitter housing, one or more high-power laser sources, a laser controller, one or more low-power laser sources, one or more photodiodes, a beam steering system and lens assembly, and a safety system. High-power and low-power beams are directed to corresponding receivers and transceivers of a transceiver system inside a remote receiver system by the controller and the beam steering system and lens assembly. Low-power beams include optical communication to the transceiver system. The photodiodes of the transmitter system receive optical communication from the transceiver system. Low-power beams are co-propagated with and in close proximity to high-power beams substantially along an entire distance between the transmitter housing and the receiver system. The safety system instructs the controller to reduce the high-power sources in response to detected events.
