Question 1

What is प्रकाशिक तंतु प्रकाश व्यवस्था (Fiber Optic Lighting)?

Accepted Answer

प्रकाशिक तंतु प्रकाश व्यवस्था (Prakāshik Tantu Prakash Vyavastha - Fibre Optic Lighting) employs glass or plastic fibers for light transmission, offering decorative illumination [1]. Materially, it comprises a core (उच्च अपवर्तनांक - uchch apavartanānk - high refractive index) and cladding (निम्न अपवर्तनांक - nimna apavartanānk - low refractive index) ensuring total internal reflection, encased in a protective jacket. While modern, its application in Indic heritage architecture is nascent. Durability depends on fiber composition and environmental factors. Conservation necessitates UV protection to prevent degradation. Traditional material sources are irrelevant; the focus is on synthetic production. Attenuation (<0.2 dB/km) dictates fiber length for illumination. Its use in heritage sites, though limited, allows subtle accentuation of architectural details without damaging original fabric. Future applications may involve illuminating intricate carvings, drawing inspiration from traditional *deepmala* (row of lamps) concepts. Restoration requires careful integration to maintain aesthetic integrity. The technology’s flexibility allows for innovative lighting designs within historical contexts.
