Optics - Light Pipes

Light piping is an optical design method which routes light through a network of refractive optics, such as mirrors and other material lenses. The application of this technique is widespread, with light pipes found in numerous everyday objects from computer monitors to medical equipment. Light pipes are especially useful in confined spaces, as they enable light to travel long distances in relatively small packages.

Two of the most popular types of light pipes are the FLP5-6.5 (Flat Light Pipe) and the OTUAR (Optics Through Optics) type. Both offer significant benefits in terms of efficiency, but they differ in the way they are constructed and the way they transmit light.

FLP5-6.5 Application Field and Working Principle

The FLP5-6.5 is a flat light pipe and is the most popular type of light pipe used nowadays. It has a wider application field than the OTUAR type, as it is more suitable for use in larger spaces. It is also more affordable, making it an attractive option for many applications.

The FLP5-6.5 works by transmitting light from one end of the pipe to the other through total internal reflection. This requires the light to enter the pipe at an angle of greater than 42.6 degrees to avoid being absorbed by the walls of the pipe. In addition to this, there are two other key features that allow the FLP5-6.5 to operate efficiently.

The first is the flat and smooth reflective surface which allows light to bounce around inside the pipe, avoiding absorption. The second is the presence of a refractive index that is lower than the external air and which aids in reducing color dispersion.

In order to maximize the efficiency of the FLP5-6.5 system, a number of additional features such as diffusers, baffles, and reflectors are often used. These help to reduce color dispersion and improve overall efficiency.

The FLP5-6.5 is typically used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including medical equipment, lighting fixtures, and display technology. It is an effective and efficient tool for routing light throughout confined spaces, particularly in areas that cannot easily be wired or cabled.
