FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION
3 4/6/2019
Introduction
Optical communication system consists of transmitter, channel and receiver.
Transmitter consists of amplifier, modulator and a light emitting semi-
conductor device, whereas receiver contains photo detecting devices. Optic
Fiber communication offers extremely high bandwidth, immunity to
electromagnetic interference, non-existent delays and immunity from
interception by external means. Optical fibers are widely used in Fiber-optic
communications, which permits transmission over longer.

History
The world's first wireless telephone transmission between two buildings,
some 213 meters apart. Due to its use of an atmospheric transmission
medium, the Photo phone would not prove practical until advances in
laser and optical fiber technologies permitted the secure transport of light.
The Photo phone's first practical use came in military communication
systems many decades later.

How It Works?
The transmission entirely depends on electrical signals passing through
When the input data, in the form of electrical signals, is given to the
transmitter circuitry, it converts them into light signal with the help of a
light source.

Conclusion
Fiber optics provides many advantages over copper conductors including
higher bandwidth, transmission of signals over longer distances, lower
weight and cost and immunity from electromagnetic interference. The
fiber optics communications industry is an ever evolving one, the growth
experienced by the industry has been enormous this past decade. There is
still much work to be done to support the need for faster data rates,
advanced switching techniques and more intelligent network architectures.
