Photonics - The Revolution in
Communications illustrates graphically,
with visual metaphors, how optical fibre
uses light to transmit, store and sort
enormous quantities of digital data, its
capacity enhanced dramatically using
various bits of smart technology.
Photonics is making video-on-demand and
far greater interactivity a possibility.
Leaders in the field describe in easy-to-follow
language the physics, chemistry and
engineering concepts that drive the
technology, explaining how it works.
This is a half-hour science film
produced for the education market. It was
commissioned and funded by Australian
Photonics Cooperative Research Centre
with Year 11 and Year 12 students in mind.
It is being distributed Australia-wide by
Video Education Australia.
