An international research team from Germany, Switzerland and Japan has demonstrated in a recent study that a single ...

Fibre optics and optical communications is the use of thin strands of glass for sending information encoded into light over long distances. Total internal reflection prevents light inserted into one ...

The Goos-Hänchen effect describes a small but measurable lateral shift of an optical beam when it reflects or refracts at an interface, deviating from the path predicted by geometrical optics. This ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...
