Structure and Design Features of Light Pipes
Geometric shape: common configurations include cylindrical, conical, polygonal prism, or custom-designed forms. Surfaces may incorporate textures, prism arrays, or microstructures to optimize light distribution.
Material selection: requires high light transmittance and low scattering properties.
Optical treatment: some light pipes feature anti-reflective or reflective coatings to minimize losses, while others employ diffusive treatments to achieve uniform light output.
