Optical light pipes are widely used in industrial, medical, and telecom applications to couple and transport light between two optical elements. One of the most common optical light pipe applications is the LMS-073 RTD (real time data) application, where an array of optical fibers and light pipes are integrated with a photodiode to prompt device responses quickly and accurately. In this application, light pipes are used to transmit light between the photodiodes and the optical components.

Light pipes can be used to bridge two packages, two elements within a package, or two elements in a module. Light pipes can also be used to transfer light from a low power source to a high power source, such as from a camera lens to a sensor or from a laser fiber to a lens. In the context of industrial automation, light pipes can be used to control machine operations and detect machinery caused faults. The use of light pipes can increase safety by providing a physical barrier between operators and dangerous vibrations or other hazardous conditions.

The working principle of light pipes is based on internal reflection. Light pipes are shaped like a tube with the sides coated with an outer reflective layer. This layer is designed to reflect light toward the other end of the tube with minimal losses due to the shape and the coating. As the light encounters the curved surface of the pipe, it will be bounced many times due to the reflection and the changing angle of the surface. Over the multiple bounces, the light continues to follow the inside of the curved surface until it reaches the other end of the tube.

Light pipes can be used in a variety of applications where light needs to be transmitted between two optical elements. In the LMS-073 RTP application, light pipes are used to transfer light between a photodiode and other optical components, allowing a device to be able to respond quickly and accurately when exposed to light. The working principle of light pipes is based on internal reflection, making them extremely useful in any application that requires the transmission of light from one end to another over a considerable distance.
