<p>A lateral light emitting fiber optic cable includes a plurality of fiber optic strands surrounded by a flexible, translucent jacketing that improves the quantity as well as the color quality of the light output. The jacketing composition optionally includes a pigment, and includes at least one component that absorbs light in the invisible or nearly visible UV spectrum and in response emits light in the visible spectrum, as well as a phosphorescent agent that emits light in a desired portion of the visible spectrum, preferably a portion corresponding to the color of the pigment.</p> |
