Fiber Optics: Light-Wave Communication
It’s the Best to be at the Speed of Light
It is general knowledge that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, not even Superman. But, no one ever said that the idea of hitching a ride on top of a wave of light is entirely impossible. Granted it is not possible for you or me to get a piggyback from a photon, but for electrical information it is another story. This is where the theory of fiber optics comes in. Fiber optics, by definition, is the science of using light as a means for transferring light by using very fine, flexible glass fibers. By its definition alone you can tell that fiber optics is something huge in the world of communication. It has revolutionized our thoughts of a speedy transfer. The process of a fiber optics......
