SLP3-150-450-R Optoelectronics

Optics is a branch of science that deals with the structure and properties of light and its interaction with matter. The study of optics includes the behavior of light over a broad range of wavelengths, including its propagation, reflection, and how it interacts with different materials and optical components. Light pipes are components used to transfer light over short distances from one location to another.

The SLP3-150-450-R Light Pipe is a high-performance, low thermal resistance light pipe used to transport light from the source to the destination. It consists of a tube made of high-grade PMMA material along with two lens segments and a reflector plate from a reliable source. The reflector plate is used to direct the beam into the tube. The two lens segments provide the focusing effect to ensure that the beam is focused into the desired direction.

SLP3-150-450-R is commonly used to optimize the performance of lighting applications, such as automotive and projection lighting. The short length of the light pipe ensures fast and efficient light delivery with no need for additional wiring or cabling. In automotive applications, this light pipe is used for applications such as reversing lights, which require a very small beam size for a quick response, as well as headlamps and day-time running lights that require more focused light sources. Thanks to the low thermal resistance of the material, SLP3-150-450-R can also be used for laser applications.

The primary way that the SLP3-150-450-R Light Pipe works is by guiding light through its PMMA tube. The tube has two lens segments that separate the light into different beams and ensure that the beams are focused into the desired direction. The reflector plate directs the beam into the tube and provides additional focusing effects. The combination of the lens segments and reflector plate ensures that the light is focused into the desired location and is evenly distributed.

In addition to its primary function of light transfer, the SLP3-150-450-R Light Pipe has excellent thermal properties that make it suitable for laser applications. The PMMA material is highly resistant to temperature changes as well as other environmental factors, making it suitable for long-term use. Additionally, the reflector plate is designed to reflect heat away from the tube, ensuring that the light is delivered evenly and without heat loss.

Overall, the SLP3-150-450-R Light Pipe is a high-performance light pipe suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive to projection lighting. Thanks to its low thermal resistance and excellent optical properties, it is also suitable for laser applications. With its short length, it ensures fast and efficient light delivery with no need for additional wiring or cabling, making it perfect for tight space applications.
