Image of the Week: Floating Water Bridge
When a high voltage is applied between two beakers filled with deionized water, a stable water thread known as a "floating water bridge" can form between them. In this photograph, we activate the water bridge as an optical fiber by launching 770-nm laser light through the tapered fiber coupler on the right and collecting the light on the other side with a fiber lens coupler. The scattering is caused by capillary vibrations of the fiber.
