Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A light-diffusing optical fiber that includes a core region in the fiber that comprises a core glass composition; and an inner cladding in the fiber that surrounds the core region and comprises a cladding glass composition that substantially differs from the core glass composition. The core glass composition comprises a doped, low-melting point silica glass having less than 90% by weight SiO 2 , and the numerical aperture of the fiber is greater than or equal to 0.4. Further, light-diffusing optical fiber bundles that include a jacket comprising a scattering element; and a plurality of the light-diffusing optical fibers arranged within the jacket. Also, light-diffusing optical fiber bundles that include a transparent jacket; and a plurality of the light-diffusing optical fibers arranged within the jacket, the fibers further configured with an outer cladding having a plurality of scattering elements.
