Applications of Lasers & Fiber Optics
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation is more
commonly known by it acronym, LASER. A laser is a source that produces a single color highly directional light beam with high intensity. Lasers applications: Industrial materials processing, telecommunications, military, public safety, and microelectronics to biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences and many others. |
An optical fiber is a transparent fiber made of glass or plastic,
slightly thicker than a human hair. It works as a waveguide, or “light pipe” to transmit light along the length of the fiber. Fiber optics is the field of applied science and engineering that designs and applies optical fibers. Fiber optics applications: Telecommunications, secured and broad-band data transmission, intelligent transportation systems, biomedical industry, military, automotive, industrial sector, and many others. |
