PLP1-375 Optoelectronics

PLP1-375 plastic light pipes are specially designed for the transfer of light. It is a highly efficient optical device that uses total internal reflection inside a self-contained plastic component to transmit light between end faces of the assembly. This innovative technology is used in a wide range of applications where LED lighting is required, such as appliances, automotive lighting, and medical equipment.

Light Transfer Technology

The light transfer technology used in PLP1-375 plastic light pipes uses total internal reflection to transmit light from an LED, or another visible light source, to any point within the assembly. Light entering one end face is totally internally reflected off the walls of the pipe, and transmitted to the opposing end face. This type of luminaire is self-contained, meaning that the light source is contained entirely within the device, and beyond a smooth surface on the exit surface, no external components are required for the light transfer.

Plastic Materials

The plastic materials used in PLP1-375 plastic light pipes are specially designed for the purpose of guiding light. The material used is a high-temperature resistant, high refractive index acrylic. This type of plastic has a low thermal resistance, meaning that it is able to efficiently guide light with minimal loss of energy. It also has a high refractive index, which allows the light to be focused and scattered in an even pattern, providing a uniform light distribution.

Applications and Working Principle

PLP1-375 plastic light pipes are used in a wide range of applications to transmit light from one point to another. This versatile technology is used in many industries, such as LCD monitors, automotive lighting, medical equipment, and appliances. It can also be used in applications where lighting is desired without traditional light fixtures and to provide task lighting in hard to reach places.

The working principle of PLP1-375 plastic light pipes is based on the total internal reflection of light. As light enters through one end of the pipe, it is totally internally reflected off the walls of the pipe and transmitted to the other end. This process allows the light to be efficiently distributed within the pipe without loss of energy. With a wide range of applications and a reliable working principle, PLP1-375 plastic light pipes are an ideal choice for all types of light transfer projects.
