DESCRIPTION:More than fifty years have passed since the development of opti
 cal fibers by Charles Kao in 1965. Such means of signal transmission repre
 sents one of the greatest technological advances that have been carried ou
 t in recent years. Optical fibers -which are the thickness of a human hair
 - are capable of guiding light so that a huge amount of information can be
  transmitted to very high distances\, in addition to offering alternative 
 applications that include\, among others\, their use in the medical\, indu
 strial or decorative fields.In this talk\, different aspects regarding the
  nature of light as well as the fundamentals of optical fibers will be add
 ressed. This way\, with the help of a series of visual demonstrations whic
 h will be performed through different gadgets such as laser emitters\, fla
 shlights\, chromatic discs\, holograms\, Newton&#39\;s prisms\, transparen
 t fibers\, and many others\, the underlying science of optical fibers will
  be reviewed while at the same time contemplating illustrative light-based
  experiments. Bio. José-Víctor Rodríguez was born in Murcia\, Spain\, in 1
 975. He received the Telecommunications Engineering degree from the Univer
 sidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV)\, Spain\, in 2001 ─after doing his gra
 duate thesis at the Lund Institute of Technology\, Lund University\, Swede
 n─ and the Ph.D. in Communications Engineering from the Universidad Polité
 cnica de Cartagena (UPCT)\, Spain\, in 2006. Moreover\, he received the Ma
 ster’s degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the Valencian Internation
 al University (VIU) in 2018. In 2002\, he joined the Department of Informa
 tion Technologies and Communications\, at the UPCT\, where he is currently
  an Associate Professor. He has been giving lectures on Optical Communicat
 ions for 18 years at the UPCT and his research interests include the model
 ing of radio wave propagation\, the development of acoustic propagation mo
 dels\, and the obtaining of biomedical algorithms through biosensors.
