Optical Fibre

The bloodshed it suffered in Afghanistan has made Canada, along with the United States, Britain and Australia, a leader in countering IEDs, the French military magazine forensic lab in Kandahar in 2009, one of the few nations with that in-theatre capability. deployable lab that can be loaded aboard a C-17 transport plane, with its own power generator, plumbing, optical-fibre wiring and supplies of gloves, swabs and evidence bags. ❋ TU THANH HA (2011)

Ocean Optics is offering a small-footprint near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer for applications such as moisture detection, chemical analysis and high-resolution laser and optical-fibre characterisation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The team, currently in the process of constructing a full prototype, proposes depositing this thin film interferometer on the tip of an optical-fibre cable. ❋ Unknown (2010)

1. [Optical] fibres are widely used in fibre-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances, and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication. 2. Optical fibres are also better than your standard conventional metal wires, because signals travel along them with less loss, and are also immune to [electromagnetic] [interference]. ❋ Joey Shimdt (2013)
