In his exam, Sturzebecher had used SiO2, a glass powder produced by Corning. Whenever he had tried to look at the substance through a microscope he would end up with headache.

data, voice and video at the speed of light. Researchers who were working for American Glass maker Corning Incorporated invented the first low - loss optical fiber with crucial attenuation limit of 20 db/km for use in telecommunications network. Signal loss of 17 decibels of light per kilometer of fiber was demonstrated. After 40 years of continuing products and process innovation have helped Corning to achieve signal loss of 0.17 db/km. This resulted in more advanced and faster telecommunications
2.3 Glass Fibers It is a versatile modern industrial material made of Silica in the form of numerous extremely fine filaments. These fibers might be finer than human hair many times and seem in appearance and feel as silk.
