Abstract:
Light diffusing optical fibers for use illumination applications and which have a uniform color gradient that is angularly independent are disclosed herein along with methods for making such fibers. The light diffusing fibers are composed of a silica-based glass core that is coated with a number of layers including a scattering layer.

Claim (Index 9):
A light diffusing fiber comprising:\n a core comprising a silica-based glass comprising scattering defects; and a scattering layer surrounding the core, the scattering layer comprising nano- to microscale voids or nano or microparticles of a scattering material in a polymer matrix; such that when light is propagating through the light diffusing fiber the intensity of the emitted radiation does not vary by more than about \u00b138% from average intensity for viewing-angles between 30\u00b0 and 160\u00b0, relative to the direction of propagation of the light in the light diffusing optical fiber, wherein said fiber provides uniform illumination, such that the intensity of light emitted from the light diffusing fiber does not vary by more than 25% over a segment length of 4 to 100 m.
