Optical fibers with a hollow core, made of air instead of solid glass, are known as hollow-core optical fibers. In comparison ...

To prevent this issue when using fiber optics for NIR spectroscopy, special low OH - plasma torches should be used to manufacture fiber optics. Figure 3. Inversely, the UV spectrum has severe ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core ...

Laser breakthrough Scientists say they have turned thin air into an 'optical fibre' that can transmit and amplify light signals without the need for any cables. In a proof-of-principle experiment ...
