In this video I show you what happens when you shine a laser on a giant 10lb block of ice. Then I test it with ice that I dyed with a black pigment called black ice! I talk bout total internal ...

Fiber optics are a great way to transfer huge quantity of data at lightning speed. Thanks to the property of total internal reflection, which allows light to flow through a glass fiber like fluid ...

Fiber optics provides a transmission medium that surpasses coax cable in many ways, especially for long transmission runs. But now with HD-SDI, the need for high-frequency capacity and low loss brings ...

Light does a lot of work in the modern world, enabling all types of information technology, from TVs to satellites to fiber-optic cables that carry the internet across oceans. Stanford physicists ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...
