Down at the very base of it, there's fiber optics that work better than ours, actually, to move light, but you can tie them in a knot they're incredibly flexible.

It uses third generation transoceanic fibre optic cable technology capable of carrying up to 5.3 billion bits of data per second per pair of optical fibres, compared to 0.56 billion bits second for second generation technology.

The application of fibre optics technology had transformed the world into a single information area, with all its ramifications.

Fibre channel

It's actually relatively simple to do, technically, because it can use existing fibers that are in the ground, existing wireless infrastructure.

The convergence of telecommunications, computers, satellites and fibre optics technologies is critical to the knowledge based economy of the future.

In the developed nations, high bandwidth optical fibre is replacing existing copper networks, with integrated optics technology promising to overcome communication switching problems.

The cable over there, that's an optical fiber.

Fully exploit the technological potential existing in universities and technical institutes (i.e. micro nano technologies, opto electronics etc.)

Fiber next generation way of communicating.

Cisco ATM Tag Sw Gigabit Router

This object is completely covered by fiber opticals.

The system, known as FLAG (fibre optic link around the globe), is composed of eight sections running through the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and Red seas, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.

Interactive tool to study and simulate optic assemblies

And the next generation fiber will be simply magic.

Furthermore, the development and the diffusion of other new technologies such as biotechnology, materials and laser technology have also progressed, although their impact has been felt less than that of information technology.

Instead of one point in the brain, we can devise devices that span the brain, that can deliver light into three dimensional patterns arrays of optical fibers, each coupled to its own independent miniature light source.

This is taken through a fiber optics microscope. It's down inside the nest.

Active optics, computer assisted polishing and ion shaping of mirrors, and silicon carbide mirror technology were typical examples of applications of new technologies for astronomical optics manufacturing.

And using both this technique and other optical techniques, we think we can make those diagnostics.

You can imagine that then maybe you can use a pure protein to guide light, and so we've made optical fibers.

(i) The pressure required to break the fiber optic signal shall be appropriate for the intended target.

But geothermal, concentrating solar, advanced photovoltaics, efficiency and conservation.

In the beginning you see the ants just kind of engaging with the fiber optics microscope.

The Light of the Internet exposition builds a new platform for technical exchange

They'd drive the streets with lasers called LIDAR.

When the sunlight comes through the window you see these little fibers.

The project on manpower development aims to upgrade and strengthen technical skills and capabilities for the application of nuclear science and technology in various development sectors, while the project on building up science and technology infrastructure plans to set up a laboratory at Bethlehem University to study irradiation effects on optical fibre sensors and to raise the level of training and research in this field.

The particulate is sent for analysis, using alpha, beta and gamma spectroscopy, together with mass spectroscopy techniques.

A woman named Joanna Aizenberg, at Lucent, is now learning to do this in a low temperature process to create these sort of lenses. She's also looking at fiber optics.

? and the daintiest hands?

This is Symphony Space on 90th Street and Broadway, and the type is interwoven into the stainless steel and backlit with fiber optics.

So this is a work that we were very intrigued with, working with the aesthetic of fur embedded with thousands of tiny different sizes of fiber optics, which twinkle like the night sky.

Free is something that comes with digital, because the reproduction costs are essentially free. It comes with IP, because it's such an efficient protocol. It comes with fiber optics, because there's so much bandwidth.

The Optical Inter Orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite will be launched into low Earth orbit aboard a J 1 rocket in the middle of 1998 to conduct, in cooperation with ESA, on orbit demonstrations of pointing, acquisition and tracking technology and other key technological elements for optical interorbit communications, which will be important for future space activities.

Software techniques have been developed for the automatic reduction and analysis of differential CCD photometry.

Now the problem is that OCR is not perfect.

India has put together a connectivity mission in Africa, using fiber optics and dedicated satellite.

Pelagic longline fishing in the Pacific is a highly unselective fishing technique that uses monofilament lines at the shallow surface of the high seas stretching as much as 60 U.S. miles with as many as thousands of baited hooks.

Common elements include references to electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, biometric and photonic technology, and references to the form in which information can be transmitted or stored (e.g. using telecommunications technology).

It has to go all over the world through fibers, through satellites, through all kinds of connections.
