Corridor of light: a laser is sent down a hallway at the University of Maryland. (Courtesy: Intense Laser-Matter Interactions Lab/UMD) An optical fibre is ideal for transmitting information over long distances because its optical properties ensure that light pulses remain inside the fibre, even if the fibre curves around a corner. However, it would sometimes
