Influences of Fiber Optics
Influences of Fiber Optics
Introduction: People have been trying to improve communications over the centuries. Communication plays a very important role in everyday life. The advancement of the world mostly depends on how we share the information with the rest of the world. Fiber optics is making this task easier and quicker. It is currently the fastest internet technology.
Fiber optic is a technology of transmitting light through very thin flexible glass or plastic fibers. It is one of the fastest growing technologies in the world. Fiber optics contains three main components. They are Core, Cladding and Coating. There are two main categories of fiber optics: Single mode and Multimode. Fiber optics is inexpensive compared to copper wire. It has higher carrying capacity, requires very low power to transmit, and is immune to electromagnetic interferences, and is very reliable and fast. The supremacy of optical fibers for carrying information to worldwide is rapidly replacing older technologies. Many researchers say fiber optics will replace the electronic signal processing, routing and switching in future.
Fiber optics technology has empowered our telecommunications systems. In this research paper, I will discuss a brief history of the fiber optics, its physical structure, advantages, influences and future.
A brief history: Many people have a misconception that fiber optics is a new technology. That is not true actually. Fiber optic was first introduced in 1790 by French engineer Claude Chappe. He invented the first “optical telegraph.” “It was a system comprised of a series of lights mounted on towers where operators would relay a message from one tower to the next.” (Timbercon.com)
Then the laser was introduced in 1958 as an effective source of light. “The concept was introduced by Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow to show that lasers could be made to operate in optical and infrared regions. Basically, light is reflected back and forth in an energized
