But silk is versatile and it goes beyond optics.

low energy light bulbs, fibre optics and flat screen displays.

Active optics, computer assisted polishing and ion shaping of mirrors, and silicon carbide mirror technology were typical examples of applications of new technologies for astronomical optics manufacturing.

It is envisaged that without adaptive optics, the kill range of the laser could be about 240 km and with adaptive optics this could be extended to about 400 km.

And she's an optometrist in St. Petersburg, and she plays with optics.

This is taken through a fiber optics microscope. It's down inside the nest.

It'll tell us about their metals. We can find out about their optics.

India has put together a connectivity mission in Africa, using fiber optics and dedicated satellite.

In the beginning you see the ants just kind of engaging with the fiber optics microscope.

So, we modified the optics of the camera in order to mimic the baby's visual acuity.

And this animation here shows you one example of the techniques that we use, called adaptive optics.

REPORT ON THE UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS CONFERENCE ON OPTICS IN SPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

18. Each system by itself is the equivalent of a terrestrial fibre optics system and has its own advantages.

The application of fibre optics technology had transformed the world into a single information area, with all its ramifications.

A AC.105 624 UN ICTP Workshop on Optics in Space Science and Technology (Trieste, Italy, 20 25 November 1995)

The convergence of telecommunications, computers, satellites and fibre optics technologies is critical to the knowledge based economy of the future.

I came up with a solution to this problem, and I came up with a solution based on adaptive optics for this.

The new optics will be integrated into the nearly 30 year old Kottamia telescope, and first light is expected in early 1997.

This is Symphony Space on 90th Street and Broadway, and the type is interwoven into the stainless steel and backlit with fiber optics.

In the developed nations, high bandwidth optical fibre is replacing existing copper networks, with integrated optics technology promising to overcome communication switching problems.

This technology works by introducing a mirror into the telescope optics system that's continuously changing to counteract what the atmosphere is doing to you.

For space based instruments, the theoretical limit of the optics used was the only performance ceiling (except, naturally, such a limiting factor as budget constraints).

These materials and their solid solutions in single crystal form can be used as substrates for thin film epitaxy devices for optoelectronic applications in integrated optics.

As a result of their collaboration, private industry could develop on its own a series of products that used optics for industrial and medical imaging applications.

And finally, I'll give you one last example of free perhaps the most powerful of all. I mentioned fiber optics their abundance tends to make things free.

Business capital includes private companies factories, machines, transport equipment, and information systems. Infrastructure includes roads, railways, power and water systems, fiber optics, pipelines, and airports and seaports.

Coin sized mirrors on the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 and Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacements units have since served as quot contact lenses quot for HST.

A woman named Joanna Aizenberg, at Lucent, is now learning to do this in a low temperature process to create these sort of lenses. She's also looking at fiber optics.

Down at the very base of it, there's fiber optics that work better than ours, actually, to move light, but you can tie them in a knot they're incredibly flexible.

And you probably didn't realize it's going to do all these things but full of solenoids, and fiber optics, and computers and all this kind of stuff. The highest resolution out of Japan.

So this is a work that we were very intrigued with, working with the aesthetic of fur embedded with thousands of tiny different sizes of fiber optics, which twinkle like the night sky.

Free is something that comes with digital, because the reproduction costs are essentially free. It comes with IP, because it's such an efficient protocol. It comes with fiber optics, because there's so much bandwidth.

. The Conference focused on the applications of optics in space science and technology, paying special attention to current and future developments in space based optical instruments used in remote sensing, telecommunications, astronomy and astrophysics.

It was estimated that it would take about 25 years to implement that challenging task by terrestrial means and that it would cost at least 1 trillion to connect the world with fibre optics.

The academics who were overseeing this work thought that that was too frivolous, so we built deadly serious applications like this optics prototyping workbench in which a toothpaste cap on a cardboard box becomes a laser.

With that capability, Uzbekistan is prepared to expand its cooperation with the Government of Afghanistan in other areas, including geological prospecting and the laying of local and international telecommunication lines linked to international fibre optics communication lines.

One example is the programme of deriving high quality coastal optics data from in situ and remote sensing instruments, being carried out by the United States Naval Oceanographic Office and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

And the blue hoods helped us with two things one, we could easily erase their heads and we also put tracking markers on their heads so we could recreate the camera motion and the lens optics from the set.

Many of these findings preceded the highly successful servicing mission in December 1993 when astronauts on STS 61 replaced several faulty parts and installed a sophisticated package of corrective optics to compensate for the spherical aberration in HST apos s primary mirror.

. In response to General Assembly resolution 49 34, and in accordance with the UNISPACE 82 recommendations, the organization of a Conference on Optics in Space Science and Technology was included as part of the activities for 1995 of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications.

According to a thesis published in German magazine Optics , a group of researchers at the Air Force Engineering University of China claimed that installing such a laser on a satellite would be enough to effectively clean up space at least, according to the simulated results, that is.

With new data from the Keck telescopes, Andrea Ghez shows how state of the art adaptive optics are helping astronomers understand our universe's most mysterious objects black holes. She shares evidence that a supermassive black hole may be lurking at the center of the Milky Way.

The principal topics covered were the following electromagnetic radiation, the reflective properties of various types of materials on the surface of the Earth, and elementary optics electronic imaging georeferencing of objects in the field, on maps and on satellite imagery and Earth resources and environmental satellites.
