2. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

   Unidirectional light path in the aberration of light. Although the average speed over a two-way path can be measured, the one-way speed in one direction or the other is undefined (and not simply unknown), unless one can define what is "the same time" in two different locations.

3. Lightpath (optical network) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightpath_(optical_network)

   When a lightpath can be established between source and destination node endpoints the connection is totally optical and avoids throttling by intermediate electronic conversions and processing. [1] Where a lightpath passes through an Optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is known as a cut-through lightpath .

4. Optical path length - Wikipedia

   The optical path difference between the paths taken by two identical waves can then be used to find the phase change. Finally, using the phase change, the interference between the two waves can be calculated. Fermat's principle states that the path light takes between two points is the path that has the minimum optical path length.

   one light-year: 1.0 year: one parsec: 3.26 years: from the nearest star to Sun (1.3 pc) 4.2 years: from the nearest galaxy to Earth: 70 000 years: across the Milky Way: 87 400 years: from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth: 2.5 million years

6. Optical path - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path

   Optical path (OP) is the trajectory that a light ray follows as it propagates through an optical medium. The geometrical optical-path length or simply geometrical path length ( GPD ) is the length of a segment in a given OP, i.e., the Euclidean distance integrated along a ray between any two points.
