  • Industrial Raw Materials

CONT

Another promising development is that of "non linear" optical materials which go from clear to dark when subjected to an electrical charge. This transition can serve as the on-off switch that is the essence of digital transmission of data. Non-linear optical materials are expected to figure prominently in the fiber-optic data transmission networks that are expected to develop during the decade. Present fiber-optic systems use glass, which act not as a switch but as a passive conduit.
