Fibre optics conducting light with telephone flex
Fibre optics. Bundle of optical fibres conducting light. A piece of flex from a telephone can be seen behind them. These fibres are made of flexible glass that has a high refractive index. Each fibre is then coated with an outer protective layer that has a low refractive index. The light beams that emerge from the end of each fibre have been completely internally reflected. The light may thus travel along the entire cable with little or no absorption. Bundles of optical fibres may be used to carry images, or high volumes of data such as telephone conversations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty and functionality of fibre optics conducting light. The image features a bundle of optical fibres, delicately transmitting beams of light with remarkable efficiency. Behind this mesmerizing display, a piece of flex from a telephone can be seen, highlighting the seamless integration of this technology into our everyday lives. These flexible glass fibres possess an impressive refractive index that enables them to transmit light effectively. To ensure their durability, each fibre is coated with an outer protective layer boasting a low refractive index. As a result, when light beams emerge from the end of each fibre, they undergo complete internal reflection. This phenomenon allows for minimal absorption and facilitates the transmission of light along the entire cable. The applications for bundles of optical fibres are vast and diverse. They serve as conduits for carrying images or high volumes of data such as telephone conversations at incredible speeds. With their ability to harness the speed of light and maintain signal integrity over long distances, fibre optics revolutionize communication systems by providing unparalleled reliability and efficiency. In this stunning photograph by Science Photo Library, we witness not only the aesthetic allure but also the technological marvel behind these essential components in modern communications infrastructure.
