Ahh yes refraction is a bear. That is why in all the waveguide demonstrations have the laser entering from the side. Solve for refraction by working with it and/or create more space for the laser to work is key. The diagram below is a waveguide example for Pyrex...

Hey everybody thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate everyone’s’ thoughts. Please keep it coming!!! Let me clarify what I am trying to do. I am taking advantage of the Total Internal Reflection a concept when a light source comes from a denser transparent medium to a less dense...
