Giving a boost to the fiber optic

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated the first optical fiber in the world with a heart of zinc selenite, a semiconductor material. Scientists were able to demonstrate that such fiber could transmit a greater wavelength and had better quality photonic a conventional model. Specifically, the crystal structure of this compound can be a signal that can have a wavelength of 15 microns.

These optical fibers may be used primarily for transportation-ray lasers used in medicine or the military.
