Optical Fiber - Power Transmission

Power Transmission

Optical fiber can be used to transmit power using a photovoltaic cell to convert the light into electricity. While this method of power transmission is not as efficient as conventional ones, it is especially useful in situations where it is desirable not to have a metallic conductor as in the case of use near MRI machines, which produce strong magnetic fields.

    “His nature is too noble for the world;
    He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,
    Or Jove for’s power to thunder.”
