 | Bill Nye the Science Guy - 27 - Light Optics 1/3 It's Bill Nye the Science Guy! In this episode, Bill, with the help of Penn and Teller, explores the science of light: optics, bending, and bouncing. Light can be reflected, like from a mirror, and refracted, like when it looks like that pencil bends in a glass of water; in both, light changes direction. The refraction of light is caused when it enters or exits certain mediums, changes speeds, and bends. We use this idea of refraction all the time: in our glasses, our telescopes, our cameras, and our magnifiers to name a few. In recent years, a new technology has emerged called fiber optics, which takes advantage of this principal to send and receive information at the speed of light. In this case, light is so refracted that it actually internally reflects again and again throughout the fiber. Enjoy, please rate and comment. Check out my other videos of Bill Nye the Science Guy or Bill's new show The Eyes of Nye. http://www.eyesofnye.org/ Love Bill Nye the Science Guy?

 | Origami Optics at SIGGRAPH Origami Optics at SIGGRAPH The origami optics developed at UC San Diego may be what it takes to get cameras with zoom capabilities so slim that they fit into cell phones and other portable electronics. Electrical engineering Ph.D. student Eric Tremblay, one of the developers of the origami optics technology, presented his team's recent work at SIGGRAPH. The origami optics get their name from their ability to "fold up" incoming light so that the space required for light focusing -- the focal length -- is effectively reduced. The design "folds" the light entering the aperture by forcing it to bounce back and forth between mirrored surfaces within the optic. It is during this bouncing/folding that the light is focused, thanks to precisely cut reflective surfaces. This work is from the lab of Jacobs School electrical engineering professor Joseph Ford. It began as a DARPA-funded project for creating new kinds of optics for applications such as unmanned surveillance aircraft and infrared night vision technologies.
