Re: Brilliant Picture
said by viperlmw  :Ever heard of 'multimode'? It uses LEDs as the light soruce, for short, in building runs, and has a larger core. 'Singlemode' fiber uses lasers. Yep. Keyword in all of this is distance. Floor to floor within a building is not much distance. Distance without losses requires closely matched components. |

I'm impressed hopeflicker and think you hit the nail on the head. Sounds just like him.
Whoever you are, get a grip. It's obviously not a laser and if you know anything about lasers it wouldn't look like that picture. Also, you have been proved wrong, admit it, instead of rambling on with more technical posts to cover yourself. If you think people are going to go blind over a picture on DSLR then you better hope they don't venture into the rest of the internet either. |

Never understood why people make more than 1 account on these sites. What do you have to hide

The photo is there. It clearly shows someone looking at the output of a fiber system. High speed, long distance fiber systems are driven by laser emitters, not LED emitters.
I provided links about the dangers of green lasers. If you think they are safe then continue to shine them in your eyes. It won't bother me.
As for going blind from a photo I think that was myth perpetuated by my parents when they found that Playboy magazine. |
