Optical fibres with a telephone in the background
Fibre optics. Bundle of optical fibres conducting light. A telephone receiver and flex are seen in the background. Optical 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 showcases the intricate world of optical fibres, with a telephone receiver and flex subtly positioned in the background. The mesmerizing bundle of optical fibres conducts light effortlessly, highlighting their remarkable capabilities. Crafted from flexible glass boasting a high refractive index, each fibre is meticulously coated with an outer protective layer featuring a low refractive index. The result? Light beams that emerge from the end of these fibres undergo complete internal reflection, enabling them to travel along the entire cable with minimal absorption. This groundbreaking technology revolutionizes communication by facilitating seamless transmission of data and images. In this image captured by Science Photo Library, we witness the convergence of phone and fiber optics – two pillars of modern-day telecommunications. While the telephone receiver symbolizes traditional means of communication, it harmoniously coexists with cutting-edge fiber optic cables that carry vast volumes of information at lightning speed. As we delve into this photograph's depths, we are reminded that behind every successful conversation lies an intricate network connecting individuals across vast distances. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for efficient communication channels. Science Photo Library masterfully captures this fusion between technology and connectivity without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation. Instead, it invites us to marvel at how far we have come in our quest for enhanced telecommunication methods through advancements like fiber optics - shaping our interconnected world today
