Transmitter:
Electrical interface encodes
users information through AM,
FM or Digital Modulation.
Encoded
information
transformed into light by means
of a light-emitting diode (LED) or
laser diode.

Receiver:
Decodes the light signal back into an electrical signal
Typically used light detectors:
PIN photodiode
Avalanche photodiode
Made from silicon (Si), indium gallium arsenide
(InGaAs) or germanium (Ge).
The data decoder/demodulator converts the signals into the
correct format.

Light
Light, radio waves, and microwaves are all forms
of electromagnetic radiation.
Light frequencies fall between microwaves and xrays.
The optical spectrum is made up of infrared,
visible, and ultraviolet light.

Data Communication,
Telecommunication, and Network
Data
Refers to information presented in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties
creating and using the data.
Data communications:
Exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium
such as a wire cable or wireless system.
Telecommunication
Means of communication at a distance.
Network
Is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes) connected by communication links.
A node can be a computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending and/or
receiving data generated by other nodes on the network.
29
Communication Model
Source
Generates data to be transmitted
Transmitter
Converts data into transmittable signals
Transmission System
Carries data
Receiver
Converts received signal into data
Destination
Takes incoming data
