Fiber optics work on the principle of total internal reflection, in which light is enclosed in an element encased by glass in air of low refractive index. Although, the basic technology remains the same, present day glass fibers are much more tensile, cost efficient and effective. The ongoing progress in the field of medical fiber optics has led to the development of inexpensive lasers for photodynamic therapy, fiber miniaturization, and complex data paths. The need for minimally invasive, small and efficient optical fibers is fast gaining importance with the growing need for minimally invasive surgery and diagnostics.

National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today introduced a high-bandwidth fiber-optic remote controller for PXI Express-based automated test, measurement and control systems. The new NI PXIe-PCIe8375 MXI-Express remote controller for PXI Express incorporates a x4 PCI Express link to provide a low-latency interface with sustained bandwidth of up to 838 MB/s to and from an NI rack-mount, Dell or Hewlett-Packard host PC for advanced performance in a variety of applications. The fiber-optic cable and controller interface of the new controller offer increased distance between the host PC and chassis, improved electrical isolation and greater cabling flexibility compared to a copper remote controller cable and interface. The NI PXIe-PCIe8375 can deliver high-bandwidth performance at distances of up to 100 meters compared to the 7-meter distance afforded by using a passive copper cable and remote controller interface.
