fiber optic lighting
does anyone know what type of reduction can be expected from running light through fiber optic cable. i realize it depends on the cable and length, any rough numbers would be much appreciated. i have come across attenuation numbers, but how does a reduction in decibel/ft relate to par/lumen loss? as you can probably tell i have no expierence with fiber optics
cheers, eric

I might have it in a Fiber Optic OTDR manual, when I get a chance I'll have a look. The best I can do off the top of my head is .25db per Km @ 1550 nm. Or .35db per Km @ 1320 nm. That's assuming you are using singlemode fiber and a laser. What kind of light source are you using?

i would be great if they have fiber optics that can filter out infrared light so we can use sunlight without the burning effect.

hey aaron,
thanks for the response. i was looking at those utilizing 150 or 250w MH, i believe they are g12 bulbs.

At what angle will the light be entering the fiber? What size of fiber? What are you trying to do?

The wavelength of the light source, power rating. Fiber type, Make and Manufacturer all play a role. I couldn't find the g12 light source that you are referring to. I did find this site though: http://trinorthlighting.com/Store/in...index&cPath=90 Is that what you are trying to do?
