Optics - Light Pipes

Light pipes are a type of optical component used to transport light from one location to another, usually over short distances. The FLX_322_BTP_08 light pipe is a specialised device designed for enhanced signal transmission in difficult optical environments. The device offers excellent performance in both vertical and horizontal directions, with a maximum transmission length of 10mm.

The FLX_322_BTP_08 is a one-part light pipe made from flexible thermoplastic elastomer material. This provides a high degree of flexibility and a lightweight design. The design of the light pipe also prevents distortion of the transmitted signal and makes installation simple and straightforward. The device has a transmission length up to 10mm in both vertical and horizontal directions.

Application Field

The FLX_322_BTP_08 is an ideal solution for situations where it is difficult to achieve a reliable optical signal. These situations include when there is a need to connect optical components in areas where the environment is hostile or challenging. The device is optimized for use in difficult conditions, such as those found in harsh industrial or outdoor environments. It is suitable for applications such as medical diagnostics, military communication, and machine vision.

Working Principle

The FLX_322_BTP_08 employs two-dimensional waveguides to form an efficient light transmission path from a light source to its destination. The light is injected into the waveguide and then bounces off the sides of the waveguide along its length, which maximizes the amount of light delivered to the destination. The waveguides are arranged so that the light is constantly bouncing in the same direction, further increasing the efficiency of the transmission.

The two-dimensional waveguides feature Fabry-Perot Resonators which act as reflectors, ensuring that the total internal reflection is maximized and light is efficiently transmitted through the waveguides. This reduces optical losses. The waveguides are also designed so that the transmitted light stays in phase, preventing interference. This ensures that the signal that is transmitted is clear and error-free.

The FLX_322_BTP_08 is an efficient, robust, and simple to install device that offers additional advantages in challenging optical environments. The device is highly reliable and is suitable for a range of industrial and outdoor applications. This makes it an ideal solution for many scenarios.
