Fluid-Based Light Guiding Structure and Fabrication Thereof

摘要

A solution for fabricating a structure including a light guiding structure is provided. The light guiding structure can be formed of a fluoropolymer-based material and include one or more regions, each of which is filled with a fluid transparent to radiation having a target wavelength, such as ultraviolet radiation. The region(s) can be created using a filler material, which is at least substantially enclosed by the fluoropolymer-based material and subsequently removed from each region. The structure can further include at least one optical element integrated into the light guiding structure.

1. A light guiding structure, comprising:
a plurality of ultraviolet transparent fluid layers; a plurality of fluoropolymer layers, each fluoropolymer layer disposed between a pair of ultraviolet transparent fluid layers; and a encapsulant that encapsulates the plurality of ultraviolet transparent fluid layers and the plurality of fluoropolymer layers.
