Fiber-optic communication

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber . The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [1] Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth , long distance, or immunity to electromagnetic interference are required.

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber . Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached internet speeds of over 100 petabit ×kilometer per second using fiber-optic communication. [1] The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [2]
