Coherent lightsource examples

Achieving extremely homogeneous lighting in tricky environments is challenging. But by combining, for example, the benefits of LED longevity with fiber optic flexibility, new ideas can be brought to life, overcoming constraints from heat and humidity or UV and IR radiation. All this while generating the best possible lighting effect, color temperature and CRI.

By separating the light source from the point of action and using glass optical fibers to guide the light, SCHOTT's light cables make it possible to illuminate very hot and humid environments such as saunas or steam rooms.

His work centers on miniaturizing mode-lock lasers -- a unique laser that emits a train of ultrashort, coherent light pulses in femtosecond intervals, which is an astonishing quadrillionth of a second.

SCHOTT's light cables transport light from, for instance, an LED light source to a display without generating heat or harmful UV or IR radiation that could damage sensitive exhibits. This is achieved using fiber optics, which guide the light to the tip where it shines with the requested color temperature, offering a high color rendering index (CRI) for true colors.

SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging is certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, while our fiber optic cables are compliant with IEC 60332-1-2 and VDE 0207-24. The cable sheathings are HFFR compounds (Fire Class Eca), with a hardness rating of Shore 45D (according to DIN 53505). They are also compliant with 2011/65/EU (including 2015/863/EU) and REACH-compliant.

Museum and retail showcases, as well as saunas and spas are beautifully highlighted by SCHOTT Decorative Fiber Optic Lighting solutions. Our fiber optic light cables, which can be combined with LED or other light sources, offer high performance and low cost of ownership, alongside compelling and effective lighting.

The Dalian Coherent Light Source, whose completion was announced today in Beijing, has a twist that makes it unique: It is the only large laser light source in the world dedicated to the particular range of short-wavelength light called vacuum ultraviolet, which makes it “a new tool for the detection and analysis of molecules undergoing chemical reactions,” says Alec Wodtke, a physical chemist at the University of Göttingen in Germany.

Our Decorative Fiber Optic Lighting consists of SCHOTT fiber optic light cables that are compatible with different light sources. They offer a range of properties that make them ideal for museums, retail stores and decorative architecture.
