- Dark Fibre Or Dark Fiber, That Is The Question?
By: Ron Legarski | - During the later part of the 1990s, a growing industry worldwide was fiber optics. Fiber optics allows information to be transmitted through light pulses rather than copper wire and electrical signals. As the industry grew, many fibers were laid that have never been used. These fibers are called dark fiber or dark fibre.
Dark fibre exists because it was found that it cost almost the same price to install large fiber cables as it did to install smaller cables. Due to the potential ...

- A Simple History Of Fiber Optics
By: Dave Millington | - Most people agree that Fiber Optics were first demonstrated in 1870 by John Tyndall. To do this he simply took 2 buckets of water, placed a hole in one, and while the water flowed from one to another, he also showed that light flowed within the water. So the light from one bucket appeared to light the water in the second. Simple!
From such humble (and wet) beginnings, other scientists helped to bring the notion of guided light (fiber optics) to the forefront of scientific resea ...
