The treated fibers could be used to transmit a wide range of infrared, visible and ultraviolet wavelengths of light, according to the research team.

Optical fibers generally are not able to transmit ultraviolet light because the short wavelength light can interact with dopants or impurities in the fibers, resulting in so - called «solarization» damage and extreme losses of beam intensity.

«More specifically, different colors (or wavelengths) of ultraviolet light can affect oxygen and ozone production and destruction in different ways.»

Mice have two types of cones — one that is sensitive to medium - wavelength green light and one that is sensitive to short - wavelength ultraviolet light (UV).

The light - absorbing molecules break off from the chains when exposed to ultraviolet light at 350 nanometers wavelength, triggering degradation of the plastics.

Scientists have known for several years that a bombardment of ultraviolet light, particularly long wavelength UV, can activate corn transposons.

The problem with today's resist, however, is that it was originally developed for light sources that emit so - called deep ultraviolet light with wavelengths of 248 and 193 nanometers.

The EBL is essentially all the accumulated light from stars over the history of the universe and ranges in wavelength from the ultraviolet, through the optical, and to the infrared.

These tools, however, produce nothing close to the angstrom - level (tenth of a nanometer) resolution of a new type of microscope that uses femtosecond pulses of extreme ultraviolet light (EUV)-- the same wavelength light to be used for sub-10 nanometer semiconductor lithography.]

The «colours» are due to differences in the surface temperature of starsw1: hotter stars emit most of their light in the visible blue or ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas cooler stars radiate at longer wavelengths, in the visible red or infrared regions (see Mignone & Barnes, 2011a).

This large range of wavelength coverage, combined with the instrument's high sensitivity, allows the study of everything from comets (which have interesting features in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum), to the blue light from star formation, to the red light of very distant objects.
