fiber

One way to create a fiber beam splitter is to take two fibers and fusion-combine them.

They’ll end up bowing and scraping and hoping that Uncle Google throws a bit more fiber their way, someday.

I've done a little in free-space optics, but fiber really isn't in my bailiwick.

Provo sold Google for $1 a fiber network they had spent over $30 million constructing.

In the simplest terms possible, this is a device that sends light down the fiber and looks at what gets reflected back.

Quinoa, famous for protein and fiber content, still contains less protein and fiber than, say, oatmeal.

It's better for nobody to have fiber than for wealthier areas to get it while communities that can't afford it don't.

Accept installation of this new fiber demarc and allow us access to configure this new router.

Please stop writing provocative statements and behaving as if the sky is falling on top of your head and the very fiber of our being is at stake.

They're the ones who've done the work of laying fiber across the country and putting up cell towers so that communications can actually happen.

Unfortunately, this article includes pretty much everything but how the NSA taps fiber at the bottom of the ocean.

Welcomed into every neighborhood - direct, very high speed fiber access in every home was quickly made into a "right".

Naturally, the NSA doesn't want repair crews finding their tap-in points!So how do you turn a piece of fiber into a beam-splitter without cutting and splicing?

A beam splitter probabilistically reroutes photons from the data stream down a different fiber.

The article suggests that the Jimmy Carter has the ability to lay fiber lines, presumably to take their purloined bits back to the nearest NSA processing center.

I'm actually a bit curious about this myself...If you want to tap a classical signal traveling down a fiber, you want to turn that fiber into a beam splitter.

Since a single bit traveling down a fiber optic cable is represented by millions of photons in an identical optical state and fiber-optic lines are lossy, a few won't be missed.

Video is “significantly congesting these networks, and causing real issues for carriers where they have to spend a lot of money upgrading networks, and pushing fiber deeper into their networks,” he says.

How many cities would already have competitors deploying fiber if they had adopted the kind of regulatory regimes Google is demanding as a pre-condition for launching fiber?

The amplifiers spoken of are unlikely to be used to boost the signal that continues on the original fiber back to the people being spied upon, simply because a good method of tapping in should be indistinguishable from fiber loss, plus components like amplifiers spliced into the line are detectable!

When you buy a personal Google Fiber plan, you're not paying for an unmetered 1Gbps upstream/downstream fiber connection.
