ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a heat shrink clad-core optical conduit surround by multiple layers of jackets and a method of manufacturing the same. The jackets are formed with a thickness and index of refraction that is preferred for generating an aura effect. The aura effect appears when light transmitted through the core appears to be traveling seamlessly through the entire core, cladding and jackets and may even appear to illuminate the space surrounding the outer most jacket, thus, producing an aura that makes the fiber optic conduit appear larger than it is. The preferred embodiment may include interlacing layers of materials that provide optical characteristics, such as dichroic and holographic films, that are enhanced by the aura effect.
