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 18):
A light diffusing fiber comprising:\n a core and a cladding; and nano- to microscale voids or nano or microparticles of a scattering material, situated and distributed such that when light is propagating through light diffusing fiber comprising, the intensity of the emitted radiation has maximum intensity, and the maximum intensity value occurs at an angular position at least 42.5 degrees, relative to the direction of propagation of the light in the light diffusing optical fiber wherein a scattering layer surrounds the core and the cladding, wherein said scattering layer comprises a polymer matrix with said nano- to microscale voids or nano or microparticles of said scattering material situated therein, wherein the the scattering material comprise at least one of: a metal oxide, TiO 2 , ZnO, SiO 2 , Zr, or gas bubbles.
