This section is about stuff efficiently getting light into or out of optical fibers, or joining two optical fibers together end to end so that light goes through.

Historically this has been an important development, as it is much harder than with wires since optical fiber has to be very narrow to work properly, e.g. this is mentioned a lot in City of Light: The Story of Fiber Optics.

Candela is lumen density per solid angle.

Bibliography:

1 Watt equals 683 Lumens of light power at wavelength 555 nm. At other wavelengths 1 Watt is less Lumens as it takes into account the sensitivity of the average human eye.

Candela is Lumen density per solid angle. A sphere emitting 1 Candela uniformly in all directions produces 4π Lumen total power.

This section is about organized groups of people doing extracurricular activities.

Some of them offer money prizes for all or some of the succesfull applicants.

Ciro Santilli's fork of PARSEC. This fork was made to improve the build system and better support newer targets, including newer Ubuntu and Buildroot.

After the PARSEC website died in 2023, Ciro Santilli also uploaded the test data to GitHub.
