Guiding light
Light trapped in hair-thin optical “wires” made of transparent materials such as glass can be piped around tight corners in computer chips, across oceans in telecommunications and back and forth inside a cavity in lasers. By eliminating beam diffraction, and allowing precise control over the beam shape and the chromatic dispersion, optical waveguides make many astonishing things possible.
