Optical networking

Optical networking is a means of communication that uses signals encoded in light to transmit information in various types of telecommunications networks. These include limited range local-area networks (LAN) or wide-area networks (WAN), which cross metropolitan and regional areas as well as long-distance national, international and transoceanic networks. It is a form of optical communication that relies on optical amplifiers, lasers or LEDs and wave division multiplexing (WDM) to transmit large quantities of data, generally across fiber-optic cables.

Laser safety

Laser radiation safety is the safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries, the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations. Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina, or even the skin.

Miroir

Un miroir est un objet possédant une surface suffisamment polie pour qu'une s'y forme par réflexion et qui est conçu à cet effet. C'est souvent une couche métallique fine, qui, pour être protégée, est placée sous une plaque de verre pour les miroirs domestiques (les miroirs utilisés dans les instruments d'optiques comportent la face métallique au-dessus, le verre n'étant qu'un support de qualité mécanique stable). En termes de miroiterie, le miroir est une glace de petit volume, c'est-à-dire de petites dimensions.
