LPR4-0800-2500DP

Optics - Light Pipes

A light pipe is a type of optical component that transmits optical energy between two points, without requiring any external power for operation. Light pipes are often used in consumer electronic devices, where they provide reliable and efficient light delivery in applications such as backlighting displays and transmitting light signals from location to location. The LPR4-0800-2500DP is a specialized model of light pipe specifically designed to transmit visible light signals over long distances. In this article, we will detail the application fields and working principle of the LPR4-0800-2500DP.

Application Fields

The LPR4-0800-2500DP is ideal for a range of applications due to its long-distance transmission capacity. In consumer electronics, it is used to provide backlighting for displays, as well as to transmit light signals across large distances. This light pipe can also be used in industrial applications as a source of evenly distributed light for machines, such as CNC machines. Additionally, the LPR4-0800-2500DP is also used in medical imaging applications, as it is able to send and receive signals across large distances without losing light intensity.

Working Principle

The LPR4-0800-2500DP light pipe uses total internal reflection (TIR) to achieve its long-distance transmission. Light enters one end of the light pipe and is internally reflected off the sides of the light pipe, until it exits out the other end. The reflective sides of the light pipe also act like a magnifying lens, which ensures that the light output at the exit of the light pipe is just as bright as the light input. The light pipe also features a special coating on the sides, which reduces losses due to absorption. This coating also significantly increases the transmission range of the light pipe, allowing it to reach distances as far as 800 meters.

Conclusion

The LPR4-0800-2500DP is a specialized light pipe designed for long-distance transmission. The light pipe utilizes total internal reflection to achieve its long-distance transmission, while the reflective sides of the light pipe act as a magnifying lens to ensure that the light output at both ends is equal. This light pipe is ideal for a range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial and medical imaging. Overall, the LPR4-0800-2500DP is a highly efficient light pipe with a long transmission range.
