About Light Guides

Light guides conduct the flow of light from a light source to a point of use. They are used to illuminate areas that are too small or too hazardous to permit the installation of a light bulb. Light guides are sometimes called light pipes (lightpipes). Typically, light guides are used in heat transfer and ultraviolet light (UV) curing applications.  

There are two basic types of light guides: liquid and fiber optic. Liquid light guides have a flexible outer sheath and a light-conducting liquid core. They are sealed with quartz windows that can be made transparent to a range of wavelengths. Fiber optic light guides consist of a non-coherent bundle of optical fibers. The fibers at each end of the bundle are tightly compressed, cut perpendicular to the axis of the fibers, and polished to permit light to pass into and out of the bundle.
