  • Alexander Graham Bell
    WEEK 2 LEVEL 7 Alexander Graham Bell Alexander Graham Bell is the famous inventor of the telephone. Born in Scotland on March 3, 1847, he was the second son of Alexander and Eliza Bell. His father taught students the art of speaking clearly, or elocution, and his mother played the piano. Bell’s mother was almost deaf. His father’s career and his mother’s hearing impairment influenced the course of his career. He became a teacher of deaf people. As a child, Bell didn’t care for school, and he eventually dropped out. He did like to solve problems though. For example, when he was only 12, he invented a new farm implement. The tool removed the tiny husks from wheat grains. After the deaths of his two brothers from tuberculosis, Bell and his parents moved from Europe to Canada in 1870. They thought the climate there was healthier than in Scotland. A year later, Bell moved to the United States. He got a job teaching at the Boston School for Deaf Mutes. © 2019 Scholar Within, Inc. WEEK 2 LEVEL 7 One of his students was a 15-year-old named Mabel Hubbard. He was 10 years older than she was, but they fell in love and married in 1877. The Bells raised two daughters but lost two sons who both died as babies. Bell’s father-in-law, Gardiner Hubbard, knew Bell was interested in inventing things, so he asked him to improve the telegraph. Telegraph messages were tapped out with a machine using dots and dashes known as Morse code.

  • History of Fiber Optics
    History of Fiber Optics By James Buckner The Sage Group 1854 – John Tyndall First Guided transmission of light Used basin with hole in bottom to direct stream of water. Sunlight was refracted through the stream of water. 1880 – William Wheeling Used mirrored pipes to carry light from one source to many rooms. Did not take off because of Edison’s incandescent light bulb gained widespread popularity. 1880 – Alexander Graham Bell Invented the photophone, a device to carry voice signals through the air instead of wires. While the photophone did not materialize, it became the forerunner to a networking technology called Free Space Optics, or FSO. FSO uses lasers and detectors to transmit data between buildings without wires. 1920 – First attempt with optical transmissions John Logie Baird (England) and Clarence W. Hansell (U.S.) jointly file patent for a method to carry television images through transparent pipes. Images were transmitted in 1933. It was a very short distance, but the quality was very, very low. 1954 – Invention of modern optical fiber Abraham van Heel covered a bare glass fiber with a transparent coating. This coating, later called cladding, had a lower refractive index than the bare fiber. The result was that the light was contained in the fiber and did not leak out. 1960 – Medial Imaging & Invention of the Laser Fiberscope allowed for the inspection of boilers and medical imaging. Laser was invented this year. Optical Fibers had losses of 1 dB/meter. http://www.spectrum- instruments.com/products/optical/industrial.shtml Telephone company demands Telephone companies were interested in optical fiber.
