Flexible Light Guides
Precision for Demanding Applications.
Flexible light guides, custom-manufactured to your specifications in outstanding quality. Thanks to years of specialized knowledge and experience in the industry, as well as the highest quality standards, our flexible light guides are used in many different sectors.
Excellent Light Transmission & Precise Control
Efficient Light Transmission
Our products ensure efficient and low-loss light transmission through optimized NA values.
Color-Accurate Imaging
Minimal color shift: Illuminated objects retain their natural color, even with long light guides.
High Light Acceptance
Through an optimized numerical aperture (NA), our light guides capture a maximum amount of light right at the coupling point.
Numerical Aperture (NA) for Your Project
The numerical aperture is a critical factor for the light acceptance and the emission angle of light guides. As our graphic illustrates, the numerical aperture directly influences the angle (θ) at which light enters or exits the light guide:
- A higher NA allows for a larger acceptance angle, and thus, higher light acceptance.
- Our light guides are available with different NA values to ensure an optimal match for your specific requirements.
