B Is this material is good for fiber optics and who would buy it?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential use of Ultrason E 3010 polymer material for fiber optics and seeks information on its suitability and potential buyers. The original poster, Hagop, is exploring ways to create economic benefits through selling this material, prompted by a friend's offer. Participants suggest researching the material's optical properties, particularly its light loss characteristics, to determine its viability for fiber optics. Additionally, there is a call for contacts in laboratories or companies that may be interested in processing or purchasing the material. The conversation emphasizes the need for further investigation into the material's properties and market opportunities.

Hello All :

as i try to create better economical situation for my self , as some of you noticed that i tried to enhance few things in engines , although it did not quaitly work out it lead to another invention , i couldnt change it yet to economical benefit , due to tests required , and dont know how to change a scientific work into profit

a friend of mine offer me to help him selling some polymer materials , as a way to create a mutual benefit , the material is Ultrason e 3010 .

my question is this material is able to be used for fiber optics ?
if yes do you know who will process it so we contact them ?
if know do you know any possible buyers so we contact them ?
is there any laboratories who do research on polymers need quantities of it so we contact them ?

Best Regards
Hagop

The Wikipedia article on FO materials and manufacturing is pretty good. Have a look at it to see if you can answer your own question (see the Materials Properties and Manufacturing sections mid-way through the article):

The loss through (several metres of?) the material may be the most relevant property for a useful light fibre. You can look that up, easily.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
