Abstract
The historical aspects reviewed of the development of energy of electromagnetic radiation. The possibility of concentration of energy and its transfer increased with the development of the fiber optic light guides. Dynamics of increasing the speed of information transfer and growth of output power of continuous fiber lasers are shown. Progressive the pace of development of fiber-optic equipment may cause the conversion and transfer of energy in the form of a stream of infrared radiation (photons) can be in some cases economically more beneficial compared with electricity.
