What materials are best for creating fiber optics from seaweed or jelly?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating fiber optics from natural materials such as seaweed or jelly. Participants emphasize the importance of selecting materials that exhibit minimal light attenuation for effective optical performance. Specific literature or research references are sought to support the project, particularly for a seminar physics project at Yogyakarta State University. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in the chosen materials to optimize light transmission.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of optical properties of materials
  • Knowledge of light attenuation and its measurement
  • Familiarity with fiber optic technology
  • Research skills for academic literature review
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the optical properties of seaweed and jelly for potential use in fiber optics
  • Explore academic journals on natural materials in photonics
  • Investigate existing studies on light attenuation in organic materials
  • Learn about the fabrication techniques for bio-based optical fibers
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or materials science, researchers exploring sustainable materials for optics, and professionals interested in innovative applications of natural substances in technology.

I want to make fiber optics from seaweed or jelly..
It will be happen?
Please give me the literature or journal..
Thank you very much for helping me.. :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Where have you seen that this is possible? I can't find anything on Google.
 
Because my lecture ask for me to do that for my seminar physics project..
Thank you for the answer.. :)
I'm Aan from Yogyakarta State University, Indonesia..

So you need to search for those materials in those categories that attenuate the light the least, right? (are the most clear to your wavelengths of light)
