Optics refers to the science of light. It involves the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter, and the construction of devices that use or detect it. Light pipes are a type of optical device for transmitting light from a source to a destination at a specified intensity. They are used in various areas of photonics, including medical, automotive, and consumer electronics. The 7511A87-450 is an example of a light pipe, and this article will discuss the application field and working principle of this specific device.

Light pipes are divided into two categories depending on their function: directional and non-directional. Directional light pipes can be used for illuminating difficult-to-reach areas, due to their ability to guide light from one end to the other. Non-directional light pipes, also referred to as LED Light Guides, redirect light in multiple directions, making them ideal for flat panel display and backlighting applications.

The 7511A87-450 light pipe is an example of the former category, and is capable of providing up to 16 lumens of light. It is designed to be used in industrial and medical applications, as well as in the automotive industry. The device is able to effectively transmit light from a source, such as a light emitting diode (LED) or other light source, to a destination such as a display, with no loss of luminosity. Thanks to its small form factor and good heat dissipation capacity, the 7511A87-450 is well suited for use in space-limited applications.

The working principle of the 7511A87-450 light pipe is based on total internal reflection. When a ray of light strikes the surface of the pipe, part of it is reflected, while the rest of it is transmitted. The angle at which the ray strikes the pipe surface determines the proportion of light that is reflected. At the critical angle, the amount of reflected light from the pipe surface is 100%. If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, all of the light is transmitted. This is how the light pipe is able to transmit light with no loss of luminosity.

Thanks to its small form factor, the 7511A87-450 is suitable for applications such as medical endoscopes, surgical instruments, and medical monitors. In addition to medical applications, the device can also be used in the automotive industry, where it can be used to divert light from the headlamp or to form directional indicators. This light pipe can also be used in the consumer electronics industry, for example, to backlight flat panel displays.

In summary, the 7511A87-450 is a light pipe that uses total internal reflection to transmit light from a source to a destination with no loss of luminosity. It is designed for use in industrial, medical, and automotive applications, as well as in consumer electronics. This device is capable of providing up to 16 lumens of illumination, and is highly suitable for use in space-limited applications due to its small form factor.
