Invisible light barrier protecting electronics
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
When high voltages need to interact with sensitive microchips without instantly frying them, engineers use light. Opto-isolators are tiny electronic components that convert an electrical signal into a flash of light, shoot it across a microscopic gap, and turn it back into electricity. This absolute physical separation prevents dangerous power spikes from jumping between circuits.
One discovery leads to another.
