Endura 100 and 700 light Series are LED-based fiber-optic illuminators that provide a mechanically flexible alternative to neon, florescent, halogen, and HID lighting. The fibers can be installed in ...

In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...

Faculty study light-based systems, light-based components, and the underlying physical behavior of light. At a fundamental level, these faculty research basic physical processes of light, including ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton in England have produced optical fibers that can transfer data at 99.7% of the universe's speed limit: The speed of light. The researchers have used these ...
