In short-reach connections, large-diameter multimode fibres allow for robust and easy connections. Unfortunately, their propagation properties depend on the excitation conditions. We propose a launching technique using a fibre stub that can tolerate fabrication tolerances in terms of tilts and off-sets to a large extent. A study of the influence of displaced connectors along the transmission link shows that the power distributions approach a steady-state power distribution very similar to the initial distribution established by the proposed launching scheme.
Recent developments in information and communication technology, along with advanced displaying techniques and high computational performance open up new visualisation methods to both scientists and lecturers. Thus simulations of complex processes [1] can be computed and visualised in image sequences. The particular idea in our approach is the outsourcing of computationally intensive calculations to servers which then send the results back to mobile users. In order to improve interpretations of the visualised results, users can view them in a 3D-perspective or stereoscopically, given the technical requirements. Today’s technology even permits to view these visualisations on a mobile phone. An example for such a computationally intensive calculation originating from the theory of relativity is depicted in Figure 4.1-1.
The developed solution enables the presentation of animations and 3D virtual reality (VR) on mobile devices and is well suited for mobile learning, thus creating new possibilities in the area of e-learning worldwide. Difficult relations in physics as well as intricate experiments in optics can be visualised on mobile devices without need for a personal computer.

The paper will focus on the activities of the International Year of Light and Optical Technologies 2015 (IYL) with their impact in life, science, art, culture, education and outreach as well as the importance in promoting the objectives for sustainable development. It describes our activities carried out in the run-up to or during the IYL, as well as reports on the generic projects that led to the success of the IYL. The success of the IYL is illustrated by examples and statistics. Relating to the potential and success of the IYL, the impact and the genesis of the International Day of Light (IDL) is presented. Impressions from the opening ceremony of the IYL in Paris at UNESCO headquarters and the Inaugural Ceremony of the IDL will then be covered. A second focus is placed on the interdisciplinary media projects realized by the students of our university dedicated to these events. Finally, an analysis of the impact and legacy of IYL and IDL will be presented.
