Optical-Fiber Transmission

Optics & Eye Health

★Exhibit Content: Total Internal Reflection of Light ★Interaction: Electromechanical Interaction ★Operation: 1. Press the "Start" button, the laser emits a laser beam, turn the handwheel to adjust the light angle, and observe the transmission path of the laser inside the glass rod; 2. Press the "Start" button, turn the dial to direct the light to the collection area on the tabletop, and observe the changes in the display area. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of optical fibers, transparent plastic plates, spotlights, laser light sources, optical fiber transmission devices, etc., demonstrating the phenomenon of total internal reflection of light. It is a recommended exhibit by PopsciCat Exhibit Store. Visitors can turn the wheel to select a favorite shape, and the light beam will pass through the hollow part of that shape and shine on the imaging surface opposite. They can also press the button and turn the handwheel to adjust the laser incidence angle and observe the total internal reflection phenomenon of the laser inside the glass rod. ★Scientific Principle: When light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense medium, and the incidence angle is greater than the critical angle, the refracted light disappears completely, leaving only the reflected light. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection. An optical fiber is a fiber made of glass or plastic. It can serve as a tool for light transmission, reflecting light entirely. A single optical fiber transmits a single point of light, while an array of optical fibers formed by a bundle can also transmit images, thus the pattern on the disc appears in the display area. Optical fiber communication uses light as a carrier and utilizes the principle of total internal reflection to transmit information over long distances with almost no loss.
