Scintillation and amplification using optical fibre

An optical fiber doped with certain rare-earth elements such as erbium can be used as the gain medium of a laser or optical amplifier. Rare-earth doped optical fibers can be used to provide signal amplification by splicing a short section of doped fiber into a regular (undoped) optical fiber line. The doped fiber is optically […]

Optical Fibre in illumination applications

Optical fibre is used in many medical application like endoscope, borescope, etc. Fibers are widely used in illumination applications. They are used as light guides in medical and other applications where bright light needs to be shone on a target without a clear line-of-sight path. In some buildings, optical fibers are used to route sunlight […]

Optical Fibre as a communication medium

Optical fibre is the latest medium of communication and there are many applications which are using optical fibre as their medium of communication and networking. Optical fiber can be used as a medium for telecommunication and networking because it is flexible and can be bundled as cables. It is especially advantageous for long-distance communications, because […]

Basic About optical fibre

An optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communication, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than […]

Technical Cable - Something Different

Technical Cable is not a general and official classification of cable. But you can use the term technical cable for some cable types. Well, I am not Einstein or scientist to name to cable but I just want to share this one. This is very interesting indeed. Well, there are some cables like rope cable […]
