Narinder Singh Kapany: The Unsung Hero of the Internet Age
Narinder Singh Kapany: The Unsung Hero of the Internet Age
In a world where the internet has become an indispensable part of our lives, it's easy to forget the pioneers who made it possible. One such pioneer is Narinder Singh Kapany, a physicist who is widely regarded as the "Father of Fiber Optics".
Kapany's work on fiber optics began in the 1950s, when he was a student at Imperial College London. He was intrigued by the possibility of using light to transmit information, and he began experimenting with different ways of guiding light through thin strands of glass.
Kapany's early experiments were met with skepticism, but he persisted, and his work eventually led to the development of the first practical fiber optic cables. These cables revolutionized telecommunications, making it possible to transmit vast amounts of data over long distances.
Today, fiber optic cables are used to power the internet, and they are essential for everything from streaming movies to online banking. Without Kapany's pioneering work, the internet as we know it would not be possible.
