Laser Components offers polymer optical fibers that emit light sideways along the entire length of the fiber.
This property is extraordinary because normally the coupled light is transmitted within the optical fibers and only decoupled at the fiber end face. Conventional fibers are designed to keep the decoupled side light (leakage) to a minimum.
The side-light plastic optical fibre was created for illumination tasks in which light must leak out equally across a certain length. For example, in the automobile industry, these fibers are suited for interior lighting in the middle console or the door frames. They can also open up new possibilities in the textile industry or for lamp designs.
The side-light POF is available with diameters of 250 um, 500 um, 750 um and
1000 um. They are available both as single fibers and fibre bundles with up to sixteen fibers.
