Abstract: A compounded light-focusing optical element is configured to focus light, and the compounded light-focusing optical element includes a body having a first, flat, end face and a second, curved end face, the second, curved end face being opposite to the first, flat end face, and plural optical fibers extending through the body, from the first, flat end face to the second, curved end face. The plural optical fibers are fused to each other to form the body, and end faces of the plural optical fibers, corresponding to the second, curved end face, are pointing in different directions.
