11fiber optics — The transfer of light through glass fibers. Cadillac, for instance, transfers the light of the headlight or taillight through fiber optics showing that the lights are actually on; rather than just an electrical connection which shows that the… …

13fiber-optics gyro — A fiber optics gyro measures a rotation by passing a coherent light both ways simultaneously around a loop of mono mode optical fiber. The rotation is measured instantly by a phase shift at the output. This device is not a gyro, even though it… …
14fiber optics — the branch of optics that deals with the transmission of light through transparent fibers, as in the form of pulses for the transmission of data or communications, or through fiber bundles for the transmission of images. Cf. optical fiber. [1960… …
15fiber optics — fi′ber op′tics or fi′ber•op′tics n. opt the technology of sending computer data, video and voice signals, etc., through laser generated light carried in bundles of ultrapure, transparent fiber (optical fiber) whose refraction properties allow the …
16fiber optics — A thin fiber of glass of plastic, enclosed usually in a flexible material, that will transmit light throughout its length …
17Fiber Optics — glass fibers that are used to transmit data using pulses of light (enables transmission over a wide bandwidth without interference) …
18Fiber optics — A&V Use of optical cable to transmit images or signals in the form of light around corners and over distances with extremely low losses …
19fiber optics — High speed transmission using light to send images (in telecommunications: voice or data) through a flexible bundle of glass fibers …
20fiber-optics — High speed transmission using light to send images (in telecommunications: voice or data) through a flexible bundle of glass fibers …
