Bending light – the art of refraction

Refraction is the change in the direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium. Said more simply its why the fork looks bent when it is put into a glass of water.

Borosilicate Fibers for Precision Lighting Systems

Basing your optical component selections on single properties like numerical aperture (N.A.) or fiber diameter can backfire on you. However, you can reduce the probability of potential problems by reviewing real-life data revealing the impact of varied fiber-optic formulations on the transmission of broad-spectrum light. After assessing this post on fiber properties and potential pitfalls […]
