Parabolic Reflectors
Used with tubular lamp sources, parabolic reflectors are intended to give a more uniform exposure to surfaces in linear processing. They are sometimes used in 3-D curing to provide quasi-colimated UV to a surface.
When applied as circular reflectors to small lamps - such as short arc lamps or near-point sources - they can provide primarily colimated UV to a surface.
