Light Conducting Rods


Light conducting rod
In addition to our range of flexible fiber optic components SCHOTT offers a range of rigid fiber optic rods. Light conducting rods are solid fiber optic elements which can be used to transmit light over short distances whenever flexible light guides are not required. Their advantages over flexible light guides are:

  • High transmission because there are no packing losses
  • Excellent temperature resistance because epoxied ferrules and sheathing are not required
  • Vacuum or pressure seals are available
  • Fiber cones or conical light guides can be manufactured for reducing or increasing the effective optical cross-section and aperture angle


SCHOTT offers light conducting rods in different rods in different diameters and for various spectral ranges. Fiber cones and specially shaped fiber rods are also available. Economic production is made possible by the use of modern techniques for bending and polishing rods and attaching ferrules.
