Fiber Optics, a branch of optics dealing with the transmission of
light through hair-thin, transparent fibers.
Light signals that enter at one end of a fiber travel through the
fiber with very low loss of light, even if the fiber is curved. A basic
fiber-optic system consists of a transmitting . . . Laser , a device that produces and amplifies light. The word laser is an acronym for; Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is very pure in color, can be extremely intense, and can be directed with great accuracy. Lasers are used in many . . .
