Optics - Light Pipes

Light pipes are optical devices used to redirect and/or distribute light from one point to another. Generally, they are constructed of a clear plastic or glass tube, usually with a reflective internal surface. The light is transferred along the length of the tube without attenuation, and derforms according to the optical properties of the internal surface.The PLP5-2-3MM-S light pipe is designed for the transmission of light in applications where tight bends and small footprints are required. It is a low profile light pipe, consisting of a 2.3 mm (0.095″) wide and 5.3 mm (0.21″) high extruded plastic body. It is optimized for red light wavelengths of 650 nm, and fits a variety of mounting formats.To transmit the light effectively, the light pipe utilizes a total internal reflection (TIR) principle. Inside the light pipe, the walls are coated with acrylic reflectors and the ends are sealed with a reflective material, such as aluminium.These materials and design features enable the internal reflectors to redirect light multiple times along the length of the light pipe. This helps to ensure that the light is distributed evenly across the surface of the light pipe, and that the end brightness and uniformity are both maximized.The PLP5-2-3MM-S is ideal for applications where space constraints are an issue, and where the requirements of the application call for the transmission of light through curved paths. For example, the light pipe can be used to create illuminated displays or user interfaces for LCD panels, or as a light guide in scanners and printers.The main disadvantage of the PLP5-2-3MM-S is that it cannot transmit light over long distances, and the transmission efficiency is limited. Additionally, wavelength specificity – the device is only optimized for 650 nm red light – could be a limiting factor.Overall, the PLP5-2-3MM-S is a useful light pipe for applications where a small footprint and installation flexibility are important. It is used most often in displays, scanners, and printers, and its design enables it to effectively redirect and evenly distribute light over short distances.
