Optics - Light Pipes

The FLX_322_CTP_12 application is a light pipe that allows light to be transmitted from a single source across a range of distances. The light pipe consists of two components—an LED and an optical fiber—and is a popular choice for industrial, medical and transportation applications due to its size, flexibility and the ability to transmit a high intensity of light over long distances.

LEDs are small, efficient, lightweight light sources that emit light when an electric current is applied. The LED is the source for the light transmitted through the light pipe, and is protected from environmental conditions thanks to its integral encapsulation. Thanks to its efficient design, the LED provides a high intensity of light over a wide range of illumination angles and distances. Its integrated circuitry also allows it to be controlled remotely with a variety of modulation techniques.

The optical fiber that forms the light pipe itself is made up of thin strands of glass with the core surrounded by cladding. This structure causes the light entering the core to be internally reflected along its length, allowing it to be transmitted over long distances. The light pipe is flexible and can be bent or wrapped to provide an optimal transmission path. It is also immune to electromagnetic interference, meaning it is ideal for applications requiring long-distance communication.

The FLX_322_CTP_12 is often used in industrial, medical and transportation applications due to its small size, its flexibility and its ability to transmit light over long distances. Its low-cost and robust construction make it a cost-effective solution that is reliable over time and its tamper-proof design ensures security. The intensity and variation of the light it produces can be easily adjusted, allowing it to be suitable for a wide range of applications.

The FLX_322_CTP_12 is a popular light pipe choice due to its efficiency, reliability and affordability. It provides an economical solution for illuminating areas where complex illumination systems are impractical or impossible to install. Its flexibility allows it to be used in many different scenarios, providing a reliable light source in a variety of applications.
