Fiber Optic Communication Lighting Technology

Home / Fiber Optic Communication Lighting Technology

Glass optical fibers are almost always made from, but some other materials, such as, and as well as crystalline materials like, are used for longer-wavelength infrared or other specialized applications. Fiber optic lighting utilizes optical fiber (flexible fiber made of glass or plastic) to transmit light from a light source to a remote location. It is comprised of a core and cladding (coating) that trap light, allowing light to travel long distances. The technology of fiber optics was first identified in the 1870's when John Tyndall noticed light from a gas street lamp was captured in a stream of water coming from a full barrel of water positioned beneath the light.

Glass optical fibers are almost always made from silica, but some other materials, such as fluorozirconate, fluoroaluminate, and chalcogenide glasses as well as crystalline materials like sapphire, are used for longer-wavelength infrared or other specialized applications. Silica and fluoride glasses usually have refractive indices of about 1.5, but some materials such as the chalcogenides can have indices as high as 3. Typically th
