    Making a Fiber-Optic Cable Out of Air

    Summary of the journal article: Optical guiding in 50-meter-scale air waveguides The goal of projecting high-powered laser beams over long distances in the atmosphere has many potential applications. In past experiments, researchers used femtosecond filaments in air to create sub-meter length air waveguides that lasted for milliseconds. This new research demonstrates the ability to create…
