Light Conducting Tube Rod

The Light-Conducting Tube Rod can efficiently and uniformly distribute various non-uniform light sources through total internal reflection, and thus are not affected by the spectral characteristics. Compared with the square shape, its hexagonal shape can reduce 35% of the light loss. Low numerical aperture (NA) light sources require longer light tubes to achieve uniform light distribution, while shorter light tubes can fully homogenize the output of high NA light sources.

UItraopto Precision Optics Co. Ltd can consistently supply this type of product through precise control of polishing, coating and bonding processes. It also accepts customized orders for prisms of various specifications.

Ultraopto’s Light Conducting Rod is a high-precision optical component expertly manufactured from premium quartz and borosilicate glass, designed to deliver efficient, uniform light transmission and beam shaping for a wide range of optical, industrial and lighting applications. Our Light Conducting Rods achieve an ultra-high light transmittance of over 95% in the visible light band, with optimized optical material selection and precision surface polishing that minimize light reflection and scattering loss, maximizing light energy utilization and ensuring bright, stable light output for optical imaging and illumination systems. Manufactured with advanced precision processing technology, we implement strict micron-level dimensional tolerance control, with diameter tolerance as low as ±0.01mm and thickness tolerance of ±0.01mm, ensuring perfect fit and seamless integration with your optical equipment, avoiding light path offset and coupling errors caused by dimensional deviations. The rod features exceptional surface quality with a 10/5 scratch-dig rating and superior parallelism of less than 1 arcsecond, further reducing light loss and ensuring uniform light distribution along the entire rod length, eliminating bright spots and dark areas in the output light for consistent illumination in stage lighting and industrial machine vision systems. 

Available in a wide range of standard diameters from 1mm to 10mm and customizable lengths, our Light Conducting Rods can be tailored to meet the specific size requirements of your optical system, with optional anti-reflection (AR) coatings for specific wavelength ranges to enhance transmittance in UV, visible or near-infrared applications, and uncoated options for general-purpose light guide needs. Crafted from high-quality quartz and borosilicate glass, these Light Conducting Rods exhibit excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance, with stable physical properties that withstand temperature changes and mechanical vibration, making them suitable for both laboratory optical experiments and harsh industrial field working conditions. We adhere to strict quality control standards throughout the production process, from premium optical glass material selection to precision cutting, grinding, polishing and finished product testing, ensuring each Light Conducting Rod meets international optical component standards and delivers consistent, reliable light guide performance. 

Ultraopto’s Light Conducting Rods are widely used in a diverse range of professional and industrial applications, including stage lighting and architectural illumination where they provide uniform light distribution for brilliant, soft lighting effects, and optical experiments and scientific research for precise light conduction and beam control in laboratory setups. They are also essential components in industrial machine vision systems, delivering stable, uniform illumination for surface defect detection and dimensional measurement, and in medical devices for clinical illumination and optical imaging. Additionally, these high-precision light guide rods are applied in display systems, automotive lighting and consumer electronics for efficient light transmission and beam shaping, meeting the diverse light guide requirements of modern optical technology.
