Light pipes are optics-based devices for transporting directional light in most efficient manner. Compared to conventional optical fibers, light pipes are simpler, lighter and less costly and can be placed over much longer distances. Among various types of light pipes, a very versatile and widely used product is the VLP-500-F, which combines convenience and performance into a single device. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the VLP-500-F.

As a general-purpose light pipe, the VLP-500-F is ideal for applications such as light transport from LED sources, lighting fixtures, security systems, medical instruments, and industrial lighting. It is capable of transporting light from both point and line shaped sources, as well as red, blue and green light. The device works by funneling all the light energy from the source into a single narrow line, maximizing the light efficiency and preventing unnecessary heat buildup.

The most important features of the VLP-500-F are its precision and directional pattern. The device is capable of capturing, reflecting and delivering very precise and narrow angle light beams over wide distances. This is possible by using an array of mirrors and lenses, which allow the device to match the input angle to the output angle precisely. In addition, the device is designed to minimize losses due to reflection and air-gaps, with a maximum loss of 0.3dB.

The VLP-500-F consists of a main body, which houses the optics, and an end-cap for connecting to the light source. The main body is made up of three main components – a polarized mirror, an array of lenses and an internal and optional outer heat sink. The polarized mirror is made from ZnS, a specialized material that reflects different wavelengths of light in different directions. The array of lenses is made up of individually shaped lenses, which are arranged in such a way as to capture and transport light in a precise direction. The heat sink minimizes heat accumulation and allows for longer distance transmission.

The working principle of the VLP-500-F is quite simple. When light from the source enters the device, it is reflected off the polarized mirror inside and passes through the array of lenses. As the light passes through the lenses, it is spread over a specified angle, allowing it to travel in a linear and efficient manner. The output light is then transmitted over a long distance along its designated path, providing bright, consistent illumination.

The VLP-500-F is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, providing convenient, efficient, and precise light transport. In addition, its simplicity and cost-effective design make it an attractive option for many applications. With its highly refined optics and heat sink design, the VLP-500-F is a highly reliable and versatile light pipe suitable for any environment.
