Light guides with epoxy or polyester cores
Intended for:
– Either testing damage to a composite structure (the fiber will degrade at the same time as the matrix, and light will not pass correctly through a broken structure)
– Or conducting light through a composite structure without altering its composition (light conduction through the matrix)
– Or to conduct information through a composite structure without altering its composition (fiber optic function)
In the image above, we see a carbon part covered with an epoxy-core optical fiber. When the fiber’s curvature exceeds 90°, the blue light, which was injected by a LED at the fiber’s entrance, escapes through the periphery.
