2. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   Many microscopes use fiber-optic light sources to provide intense illumination of samples being studied. Optical fiber is also used in imaging optics. A coherent bundle of fibers is used, sometimes along with lenses, for a long, thin imaging device called an endoscope, which is used to view objects through a small hole. Medical endoscopes are ...

3. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [ 3 ]

   These will be nonlinear optical crystals used to manipulate light beams into controlling other light beams. Like any computing system, an optical computing system needs four things to function well: optical processor; optical data transfer, e.g. fiber-optic cable; optical storage, [8] optical power source (light source)

6. Hybrid solar lighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_solar_lighting

   Hybrid solar lighting (HSL) or hybrid lighting systems combine the use of solar with artificial light for interior illumination by channelling sunlight through fiber optic cable bundles to provide solar light into rooms without windows or skylights, and by supplementing this natural light with artificial light—typically LED—as required.

7. Optical communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_communication

   Optical fiber is the most common type of channel for optical communications. The transmitters in optical fiber links are generally light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes. Infrared light is used more commonly than visible light, because optical fibers transmit infrared wavelengths with less attenuation and dispersion.
