Abstract
A side-emitting optical fiber system and an assembly are disclosed that utilize a side-emitting optical fiber and light-emitting jacket members operably disposed about the outer surface of the side-emitting optical fiber. The light-emitting jacket members receive side-emitted light having an input wavelength. Each light-emitting jacket member receives the side-emitted light and converts it to light having a different wavelength that the input wavelength. This converted light is then emitted from the light-emitting jacket members, thereby providing side-emitted light of different colors.
