Optics Quotes

What you are seeing is a shift away from e-commerce and back to the plumbing of the Internet. The telecom sector and software are doing quite well as are DSL, broadband and fiber optics. Most of them are retooling to enter the fiber optic age. - Tracy Lefteroff

We're using new manufacturing techniques and new facilities to produce unprecedented lightweight precision optics for the Webb Telescope. That the mirror segments are moving smoothly through a process with such rigorous specifications is a tribute to the manufacturing team's expertise. - Martin Mohan

We're evaluating SFP+ for the long term. We're satisfied with the density of XFP; the biggest issue is the cost of the optics. - Bill Ryan

We will also conduct several critical payload operations, including switching on the SEVIRI imager and releasing two protective covers, one over the optics and the second covering the radiator. This all has to happen rather quickly, or else performance could be affected. - John Dodsworth

We are comfortable with our $39 billion-plus sales forecast for 2001, given Nortel's strong product portfolio in optics, wireless, access, and next generation switching. - James Parmelee

This work has opened a new frontier in optics and optical technology whose final implications we cannot yet guess. That sounds like hyperbole, but I think it's true. - Daniel Kleppner

They won't be synchronized, but traffic-actuated. The technology we're asking for will be like it was before but better, enhanced by fiber optics and radios. - Ricky Lee

There will be a lot of work behind the scenes, infrastructure that needs to be done, fiber optics laid. The first year you'll see a cleaner park. You'll be able to see it from the expressway (I-135). ... We use the Disney philosophy so if we can approach that caliber of a park, that's what we'll try to do. - Robert Barnard

There is a new way with very very tiny fiber optics, which give an enormous high resolution. There are many many thousand fibers, very very close together with a very small diameter. - Lennart Nilsson

The way the optics in this system work together has not been seen before in the exterior lighting world. Besides being a beautifully designed light, the system allows drivers to take corners and curves more safely n and consume less energy while doing so. - Mahendra Dassanayake
