Source sentences:
text: An optical fiber is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide (nonconducting waveguide) that transmits light along its axis, by the process of total internal reflection.
text: Heat-Free Lighting: Since the light source is remote, the fiber transmits the light but isolates the heat from the light source from the illumination point, an important consideration for lighting delicate objects, such as in museum displays, that could be damaged by heat or intense light.
text: A fiber optic cable contains glass or plastic fibers that transmit light instead of electricity.
text: Fiber optic, or more accurately optical fiber, is a flexible and transparent fiber that - in the simplest terms - is able to transmit light along its length.
text: Fiber-optic technology refers to thin fibers that transmit light through internal refraction.
