Fiber Optic Characteristics

Fiber Optic Characteristics Fiber-Optic Characteristics Optical-fiber systems have many advantages over metallic-based communication systems. These advantages include interference, attenuation, and bandwidth characteristics. Furthermore, the relatively smaller cross...

Endoscope

Endoscope Endoscope: A lighted optical instrument that is used to get a deep look inside the body. An endoscope, which may be rigid or flexible, can be used to examine organs, such as the throat or esophagus. Specialized endoscopes are named for where they are...

Optic Fibre

Optic Fibre What is optic fibre? Optical fibers are fine transparent glass or plastic fibers which can propagate light. They work under the principle of total internal reflection from diametrically opposite walls. In this way light can be taken anywhere because fibers...

Fibre optic communication

Fibre optic communication An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi-mode fibers: 62.5/125 µm OM1 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fibre optic communication has revolutionised the...

Industrial and Medical Applications of Laser

Industrial and Medical Applications of Laser Spectroscopy Most types of laser are an inherently pure source of light; they emit near-monochromatic light with a very well defined range of wavelengths. By careful design of the laser components, the purity of the laser...

Error Analysis

Error Analysis All measurements, including ultrasonic measurements, however careful and scientific, are subject to some uncertainties. Error analysis is the study and evaluation of these uncertainties; its two main functions being to allow the practitioner to estimate...
