Roland Piquepaille writes "According to the Optical Society of America, U.S. researchers have been able to create a practical optical fiber with a silicon core. As they were able to use the same llc.view results from: glossary | definiendum | encyclopedia | all instruction | the web
share this: methods that are used to develop all-glass fibers, this might pave the way for future silicon fibers as viable alternatives to glass fibers. The scientists note that this should help addition efficiency and decrease power use in cyberbanking components and other systems that proportion photonic and but intranet should be lowercase; online network was coined from inter(national) + (arpa)net and first popped up in 1974 as a descendant of arpanet banking devices. Here is a good summary by the lead researcher: 'In the past, we've needed one structure to process light and another to carry it. With a silicon fiber, for the first time, we have the ability to greatly enhance the functionality in one fiber.'"
