    Abstract: A lightguide defines an optical axis and has an optical absorption coefficient of at least 0.02 cm−1 at a wavelength of 500 nm. The light guide includes a plurality of discrete light extracting structures, each with a first surface configured to extract light propagating in a first direction along the light guide, a second surface configured to extract light propagating in a second direction along the light guide, and a light extraction efficiency of less than 2%. The first surface and the second surface in each of the light extracting structures making an angle with each other larger than 90 degrees; the angle between the first and second surfaces of at least one of the light extracting structures being different from the angle between the first and second surfaces of at least another one of the light extracting structures.

    Abstract: A lightguide is disclosed. The lightguide is centered on an optical axis and includes a plurality of light extracting structures next to and spaced apart from each other. Each structure includes a surface that extends from a first side of the lightguide and is adapted to extract light that propagates in a first direction along the optical axis from an opposite second side of the lightguide by reflecting the propagating light toward the second side. The surface makes an angle with the optical axis that is less than 45 degrees and greater than 10 degrees.
