Anyone in my timeline have working information or the equipment to do optical fiber termination? Or can you recommend someone who can do this to order? UK preferred, but EU or CA also acceptable.
I have an idea for a project that will need 0.6mm fiber lengths appropriately terminated for use with an pair of 10GbE media converters.
The media converter hardware seems fairly straightforward (any advise on that appreciated though) but getting the fiber runs assembled seems to be more tricky 😟🤷♂️
New paper on #ArXiv!
When (coherent) light propagates in a multimode fibre, each mode accumulates a slightly different phase, so the output looks like a random speckle patter.
But it is NOT random!
This non-randomness has a number of consequences, among them the fact that the you get predictable patterns in the apparently random output. We show that a focused input will always result in a ring of excess intensity at the same radius of the input (and suggest how this might be useful).
One of the gazillion reasons why fibre is much better than satellite based Internet: „Musk's Starlink satellites disrupted by major solar storm"
If you believe this is mainly due to the unusually strong solar event of the past 2-3 days, let me remind you what happened in February 2022: "Solar storm knocks out 40 newly launched SpaceX satellites“
