SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the amplification of sunlight through fiber optic cables using resonance techniques. It concludes that while optical resonance does not alter the nature of photons, it is unclear whether amplification of multiple wavelengths can be achieved through this method. The conversation also hints at the possibility of exploring alternative methods for light amplification beyond resonance.

Here is my question: Can light of multiple wavelengths (for example sunlight) that is transferred through a fiber optic cable be amplified equally with resonance? If this is not possible, are there other methods besides resonance to achieve this effect. If optical resonance is used, how do the nature of the photons change if at all?

The photons themselves wouldn't change at all. If you could amplify the light you would simply be adding more photons. I don't know if you could amplify it or not however.
