This optic was 22 feet long.
At my company, our quantum random number generator started life on a two meter by one meter optic table.
Except this time, instead of a call to give James the code, we're going to use quantum effects on a laser to carry the code and send it over standard optic fiber to James.
You see the going down towards the fovea where the optic nerve begins.
Two eyes at the bottom, optic nerve flowing out from the back.
And then you can take a fiber optic cable and light up some of the same things.
Now, you're looking at this thinking, "Ah, Admiral, these must be sea lanes of communication, or these might be fiber optic cables."
It's about the router of one network, a Facebook or a Google or a B.T. or a Comcast or a Time Warner, whatever it is, connecting with usually a yellow fiber optic cable up into the ceiling and down into the router of another network, and that's unequivocally physical, and it's surprisingly intimate.
Now, this is a map of the undersea fiber optic cables that connect Africa to the rest of the world.
That's a sea sponge that has a fiber optic.
For example, our eyes have blind spots where the optic nerve blocks part of the retina.
So in order to measure whether this was successful or not, we measured the optic nerve as our outcome measure.
And that's telling you that the optic nerve is shrinking, which makes sense, because their nerves are dying.
Okay, and what we're looking at here, this is Sam's optic nerve, which is a direct extension of her brain, so I'm actually looking at her brain as we look there.
Or, with the retinal implant, you take a camera and you digitize the signal, and then you plug an electrode grid directly into the optic nerve.
When you move forward, you get optic flow, flowing outwards in your visual field, like when the Enterprise goes into warp.
The point is that it's the stimulus at the back of your eye that has these optic blurs in them, and that's what tells your brain that you're moving.
So when you take a fixation, you end up with this weird optic blur stuff, and it tells you the direction you're moving.
Because I've added blur to these optic flow lines, your brain says, "They're probably already moving, that's why they're blurry."
It's not ideal for the human eye to have a blind spot where the optic nerve exits the retina, but that's how it developed, starting from a simple photoreceptor cell.
This results in a blind spot, where the optic nerve must pierce the retina to reach the photosensitive layer in the back.
The central brain only contains about 10% of the neurons, while the two huge optic lobes contain about 30%.
She knows how different wavelengths of light stimulate three types of cone cells in the retina, and she knows how electrical signals travel down the optic nerve into the brain.
It is an imaginary, super-magnified medical device that fits around the optic nerve.
With a handheld strobe, they can explore the sculpture, and discover thousands of cell-sized robots hard at work, leaping in and out of the optic nerve, being deployed to the retina to repair it.
So we are really duplicating the kind of signals that you have on the optic nerve.
Compared to electricity or radio, fiber optic signals barely degrade over great distances— a little power does scatter away, and fibers can’t bend too sharply, otherwise the light leaks out.
And a fiber optic cable contains hundreds of these fiber strands.
But they do enable engineers to shrink all the devices in a hundred kilometer fiber optic network down to tiny photonic chips that plug into servers and convert their electrical signals to optical and back.
Now, we’ve saddled light with information and redirected it to run along a fiber optic superhighway— with many different integrated photonic exits— to build an even more expansive, virtual world.
