if infra red is all around us. would it not be possible to make it a energy source ? just convert the invisible light and low and high energy's to a wavelenght that we can use for power. peace
There is a pump laser in the amplifier that sort of charges the erbium glass. When the signal beam hits the glass then it emits the amplified signal pulses.
very interesting video.... i didnt know the entire internet could depend on erbium.....i hope we dont come into short supply on that groovy stuff, im addicted to my youtube!......they need to work on a chemical that can make undersea cables invisible to sharks, so the little buggers wont treat them like chewing gum
i love more in depth information

How powerful is that diode?

Wow, that was extremely informative. Just one question; where does the erbium ions get energy to emit more photons/amplify the laser pulse?

Please keep posting the "uncut versions" for the geeks such as I.
Truly captivating to those who might not have the opportunity to be immersed in such an environment.

perpetual motion Here we come :)
Solar Power boost, tourch light boost, house light boost, VDU OLED boost, etc....
Great idea.

Fabulous, keep em coming ;) perhaps erbium could be coated with some sort of shark repellent?

I love these vids, could watch them all day!
Are there any channels other than the Periodic Videos and Sixty Nine Symbols?

hmmmmm...pretty interesting...but I see why you cut it out, it was a bit too long...
gotta make things concise for the video to be interesting : )
