Ein- oder zweidimensionale Arrays von optischen Fasern
Fiber arrays (or fiber optic arrays or fiber array units) are one- or two-dimensional arrays of optical fibers. Often, such an array is formed for only the end of a bundle of fibers, rather than along the entire length of the fiber.
Fiber arrays are usually made of silica fibers suitable for various spectral ranges from near infrared to ultraviolet. However, they can also be made from certain specialty fibers. Both singlemode and multimode fibers are used, depending on the application.
Fiber arrays are used in a variety of applications, including:
Fiber arrays offer a number of advantages over other lighting systems, including:
Overall, fiber arrays are a versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of applications. They offer a number of advantages over other lighting systems, including homogeneous, shadow-free light distribution, high luminous intensity, flexible design, and robustness and durability.
