The non-electric luminous fiber harnesses environmental electromagnetic energy through human body coupling polarization. It illuminates via the antenna core, dielectric layer, and optical interaction layer. When in contact with skin, the fiber lights up at the interface polarization capacitor, creating a magical effect.
