Cost effective glass fiber for solar lighting
Fiber optic solar lighting systems can provide natural daylight in buildings, road tunnels, parking garages, and other buildings. The fibers used for solar lighting are typically plastic fiber, a low cost alternative to large core silica fiber. The plastic fiber however, gives the daylight a color shift, and has limitations in the distance that the systems can be used to carry daylight.
Acreo carries out a prestudy together with Glafo and Uppsala University, on the development of optimized glasses for optical fibers to be used in solar lighting.
Popular description (in Swedish): Solen som belysning, hälsosamt dagsljus inomhus.
