Optical fibres, special effects photo
Fibre optics. Filtered photograph of light emerging from a bundle of optical fibres. The fibres are made from a special glass which is flexible and has a high refractive index. Each filament is then coated with a protective layer with a low refractive index. A light beam entering the end of the fibre is completely internally reflected at the cylindrical surface of the core. The light may thus travel along the entire cable with little or no absorption. Optical fibre bundles may be used to carry images, or high volumes of data such as telephone conversations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This mesmerizing print captures the captivating beauty of optical fibres and their special effects. The filtered photograph showcases a stunning display of light emerging from a bundle of these intricate fibres. Crafted from flexible glass with a high refractive index, each filament is delicately coated with a protective layer boasting a low refractive index. As we delve into the science behind this enchanting image, we discover that when a beam of light enters the end of an optical fibre, it undergoes complete internal reflection at the cylindrical surface of its core. This remarkable phenomenon allows the light to travel along the entire cable with minimal absorption or loss. Optical fibre bundles possess immense potential in various fields such as technology, communications, and data transmission. They serve as efficient light guides capable of carrying vast volumes of information, be it crystal-clear images or even telephone conversations. The sheer elegance captured in this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for innovation. It reminds us that beneath seemingly ordinary objects lie extraordinary capabilities waiting to be harnessed for progress and connectivity. This awe-inspiring visual masterpiece by Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate not only the artistic allure but also the scientific marvels hidden within everyday wonders like optical fibres.
