Light Transmission by Lotus Plant Stem and Leaf Tissue: Natural Textiles for Optical Fibers
Source abstract
Abstract
Application of plant stem for optical transmitting devices is considered. This research indicates a possibility of application of vascular bundles as natural textiles for optical fibers. Observations of lotus stem tissue were carried out. Laser beam transmission of lotus stem was confirmed. New functions of photoconduction through lotus stem and confinement of incident light on the leaf surface are discussed.
