What is the fiber-optical lighting?

Optical fiber-optical lighting concerns the use of optical fiber and its ability to transmit light as a light source for decorative or practical applications. When optical fibers are used to illuminate, they are sometimes wrapped in bundles, giving them the opportunity to transmit images. The fiber-optical lighting lights use the principle of overall internal reflection and transmits light along the entire length of the optical fiber with negligible dimming or energy loss. The optical fiber itself

consists of several inner layers, including a core that transmits light wool and lining around it. The return is made of a material that has a lower refractive index than the core. This means that in order for the light to pass from the core through the cladding, it would have to slow down. Instead, the light waves are taken what could be called the smallest resistance by reflecting only in the core over the fiber length to be visible at the other end. This Jaans that optical fiber can be bent around corners or in a spiral TVARU and still at the end of the thread emit light.

Optical fiber has a wide range of uses, from art to medicine. In the context of health care, optical cables can be used to guide light to an area where there is no clear supervision line, for example in certain operations where it is desirable to make the least possible cut. This use of optical fiber lighting has led to shortening the recovery time and fewer complications after several different types of operations. It is also increasingly used as an architectural tool, to transmit sunlight to the interior of the building in order to reduce energy costs.

Building material known as Litracon® was developed in 2001, partly Hungarian architect Aron Losonczi. Litracon® is an abbreviation for "transmission concrete" and is made in such a way to be translucent. Four percent of the weight of this type of concrete are formed by optical fibers that allow the light to pass to a limited extent.

Fiber optical lighting is widely used in decoration, for example in artificial Christmas trees that include lit optical fibers. There are even ways to integrate optical lighting of the fibers into works of art. Simple yet distinctive chandeliers for homes and businesses can also be made using optical fibers.
