Analysis on Optical Characters of a Seamless Prism Light Guide

Abstract:

A seamless prism light guide made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is introduced in this paper. The light-transporting efficiency and light-distributing character is analyzed. As comparative sample, the optical characters of an opalescent PMMA light guide are also introduced in this paper. Experiments show that the guide has high light-transporting efficiency that makes high illuminance at the end of the guide. The light-transporting efficiency of the seamless guide is nearly two times higher than that of the opalescent PMMA light guide.
