FLP2R9.0-SG

Optics - Light Pipes

Light pipes, also known as light guides, are optical devices that efficiently transfer light from a source point to a receiving point by concentrating and transporting light in an enclosed pipe. They are most often used in applications where space is limited, or when light needs to be transferred over long distances or at shallow twists and turns. FLP2R9.0-SG is an example of a light pipe that offers impressive performance and features for a variety of applications.

FLP2R9.0-SG Application Field

The FLP2R9.0-SG is an ideal choice for applications that require both long distance and short range transfer of light. Its ability to transfer light up to 500 mm allows for use in a variety of applications such as medical devices, industrial equipment, scientific instruments, and automotive lighting. The lightweight and compact design of the FLP2R9.0-SG light pipe also makes it suitable for applications in which a significant amount of space is limited. Furthermore, its flexible and bendable design provides users with the ability to customize it for various applications.

FLP2R9.0-SG Working Principle

The FLP2R9.0-SG light pipe works by utilizing the Total Internal Reflection (TIR) principle. TIR is a process in which light enters the light pipe and is then reflected off the walls of the light pipe. This process repeats until the light exits the pipe at its destination point. The advantage of this principle is that it can efficiently transfer light over long distances in a small and compact form.

In addition to the TIR principle, the FLP2R9.0-SG relies on a combination of optical lenses, collimating and diffusing films, and total reflection prisms to maximize light transmission. The lenses and reflective films work together to spread the light evenly and steer it onto the next optical element. The total reflection prisms help to direct the light along the entire length of the pipe. This combination of elements creates a seamless light transfer from one end of the light pipe to the other, with minimal losses.

The FLP2R9.0-SG also features an innovative lens design that further boosts light transmission. This lens design utilizes a diffusing film and a refracting lens to significantly reduce light loss. The lens has an optimized light transmittance rate of up to 95%, with no hot spots.

Conclusion

The FLP2R9.0-SG is a light pipe that offers superb energy efficiency and reliability for numerous applications. Its combination of total internal reflection, optical lenses, collimating and diffusing films, and total reflection prisms enable it to transfer light over long distances in a very small and compact form. The FLP2R9.0-SG\'s optimized lens design, with a light transmittance rate of up to 95%, further ensures minimal light loss and a seamless light transfer. Thus, this light pipe is an ideal choice for transferring light in applications that require both short- and long-range transfer of light.
