Side-Glowing Optical Fiber
Side-glowing optical fiber is also named as cylindrical surface emission fiber, linear optical fiber, leakage optical fiber, large diameter light pipe and even called as neon optical fiber. Not only side-glowing optical fiber can transmit light from one end to another end,but also can leak
out light from its clad surface to make the optical fiber glowing wholly.
Side-glowing optical fiber
Side-glowing optical fiber can range in core material,solid core Side-glowing optical fiber and liquid core Side-glowing optical fiber.
solid core Side-glowing optical fiber includes quartz core Side-glowing optical fiber, multicomponent glass optical fiber,Plastic Optical Fiber.
Side-glowing optical fiber used chiefly in ornamental, lighting, display, advertising field. for their life may be prolonged, a apparent material which resistant to UV and aging that forms a covering layer around optical fiber.like PVC or TPX.the working temperature of optical fiber is -20℃-120℃ and work for ten years.
neon optical fiber
the illumination intensity of Side-glowing optical fiber formula
Is(x)= Aexp(- kx)
k is luminous coefficient,the unit of k is m-1.
x is length of optical fiber. A is constant.
A= (4π)-1I0(expk- 1)
