Is a Corona Flash System Using Fiber Optics and Lens Physics Possible?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of a corona flash system utilizing fiber optics and lens physics. Participants explore concepts related to the interaction of light with fiber optics, lens design, and potential configurations for achieving the desired optical effects.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the specific aspects of fiber optics and lens physics that are of interest, suggesting that clarity in the question would facilitate better responses.
  • One participant proposes using fiber optics in a waveguide style, suggesting a configuration where fiber is threaded through a lens.
  • Another participant notes that due to the principle of total internal reflection in fiber optics, light escaping from the fiber to interact with the lens would be minimal unless certain conditions are met, such as bending the fiber or altering its cladding.
  • A participant discusses the use of a Brewster window with a drilled hole and considers the implications of light phasing when fibers are coiled, questioning the effectiveness of transferring light between fibers in this context.
  • There is a suggestion about the potential of creating a corona flash system that utilizes the corona effect within an array configuration, although the feasibility of this idea is not established.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of understanding and interest in the topic, with no consensus reached on the feasibility of the proposed corona flash system or the specific configurations discussed.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific references or definitions for some terms, leading to potential ambiguity in the discussion. The effectiveness of the proposed methods remains uncertain, and assumptions regarding light behavior in fiber optics are not fully explored.

Looking for those that talk about through lens with fiber optic.
 
Using fiber optic in a waveguide style. Putting a hole into a lens then string the fiber through like a beaded necklace.
 
Since the fiber's operates on the principle of total internal reflection,
there will be little light escaping from the fiber to interact with the lens.
The only way to get limited light out of the side of a fiber, is to bend it
in a way that violates the total internal reflection, or to remove some of the
higher index cladding.
 
SO an array style optical is out the question, I am using a Brewster window with a hole drill through it. Polished and everything. Thought that the phasing light wave as seen when coiled could transfer from one fiber to another. Or so the effect was seen. The electron wire array with ferrite bead is what I thought is simular as if as my idea. So a corona flash does not emulate of the fiber or not well enough to make the transfer.
 
Could you believe in creating or except the idea of a corona flash system. Using the corona in the same array.
