How Fiber Optic Daylighting Systems Work
Fiber optic daylighting systems are designed to capture direct sunlight outdoors and deliver it deep into building interiors using optical fibers, without converting solar energy into electricity. Unlike skylights or tubular daylight devices, these systems rely on controlled optical coupling, total internal reflection, and precise solar tracking to maintain usable illuminance over long distances.
The Role of Solar Tracking in Daylighting Systems
The sun is not a static light source. Its apparent position changes continuously due to Earth’s rotation and axial tilt,
