DARPA has succeeded in creating hollow-core photonic-bandgap optical fiber, which allows light to travel along its length at around 99.7% the speed of light, or a 30% improvement over conventional ...

New Delhi: Researchers have designed a new type of optical fibre, which guides light through air in its hollow core -- instead of the traditional solid glass -- and can therefore increase the speed of ...

No longer a novelty lighting scheme for pools and fountains, modern fiber-based can serve a variety of applications. Once relegated to underwater environments, fiber optic (FO) lighting has made its ...

Advancements in fiber cabling have been few and far between in recent years. The cables being laid at scale by the telecommunications industry today are pretty similar to those that were being fed ...

A thin strand of glass designed for light transmission. A single hair-thin optical fiber is capable of transmitting trillions of bits per second. In addition to their huge transmission capacity, ...

Advanced wind turbines sport a large number of sensors whose signals are prone to contamination from electrical noise. Fiber optics to the rescue. Mickaël Marie Industrial Fiber Products Div. Product ...

Fiber optics is a branch of optical technology that is concerned with the transmission of data as light impulses along a thin flexible glass or plastic fiber. There are two basic types of optical ...
