Ten Things You Never Knew About Lasers
Lasers, intriguing since Einstein's time, have evolved with various applications. From medical breakthroughs to potential weaponry, their impact is profound.
The Advantages of Fiber-Optic Communication Systems
Fiber-optic communication systems are becoming increasingly common in modern society. Where once they were restricted to government or business use, fiber-optic systems are now available to individual households. This has been driven by the rising demand for high bandwidth connections for a variety of industrial and residential purposes. What is a Fiber-Optic Communication System A fiber-optic communication system uses fiber-optic cables to transmit information via light channeled through the cable. In most cases, this light is coherent laser light, although some recent systems use light emitting diodes (LEDs) rather than lasers. Modern fiber-optic communication systems make use of a cable to carry the light impulses to a receiver, which converts…
