Optical fiber — A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio c … Wikipedia
Optical fiber cable — A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These plastic fiber cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are… … Wikipedia
Optical fiber connector — An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so that light can pass. Better connectors lose… … Wikipedia
Plastic optical fiber — (POF) (or fibre) is an optical fiber which is made out of plastic. Traditionally PMMA (acrylic) is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material. Since the late 1990s however, much higher performance POF based on… … Wikipedia
Core (optical fiber) — The structure of a typical single mode fiber. 1. Core 8 µm diameter 2. Cladding 125 µm dia. 3. Buffer 250 µm dia. 4. Jacket 400 µm dia … Wikipedia
Fiber-optic communication — An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from … Wikipedia
Optical amplifier — An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from… … Wikipedia
Glass — This article is about the material. For other uses, see Glass (disambiguation). Moldavite, a natural glass formed by meteorite impact, from Besednice, Bohemia … Wikipedia
Glass electrode — A glass electrode is a type of ion selective electrode made of a doped glass membrane that is sensitive to a specific ion. It is an important part of the instrumentation for chemical analysis and physico chemical studies. In modern practice,… … Wikipedia
Glass transition — The liquid glass transition (or glass transition for short) is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber like state … Wikipedia
All-silica fiber — Silica fiber or silicic acid fibres are produced from sodium silicate fibers in a dry spinning method, the sodium silicate fibres are free of non alkali metal compounds and have a mole Na2O : SiO2 ratio of 1 :3 to 1:9; the silicic acid fibres… … Wikipedia
