 Optical fiber

Erich Spitz, French physicist of Czech origin, made the first optical fiber transmission

Optical Fiber - initially neglected invention that later completely changed the world of telecommunications technology. In the former Czechoslovakia, its research began in the laboratories of the Academy of Sciences in 1979. Currently, the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic belongs to top laboratories where scientists can prepare special optical fibers for high-performance fiber lasers. That is why scientists meet at the international SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics symposium in Prague, where experts from the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic will perform.
