Various telecommunication techniques using supersonic, electromagnetic or light waves have been developed for application to remotely controlled machine operation systems, especially for microsystems. A light wave communication technique using fluorescent light in an optical fiber was considered to be applicable for this purpose. The fundamental communication properties of fluorescent-doped plastic fiber have been examined to realize such a system in a specific narrow space. As a result, the detectable distance of 5m with resolution of 5.6 mm and a communication rate of approximately 500 kbps was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
