Digital: 1. Optical Fibers Carry - Data Signals in The Form of Light Pulses

1. Optical fibers carry digital data signals in the form of light pulses and are not subject to electrical interference. Fiber-optic cable transmissions attenuate exponentially as the optical pulse propagates along the fiber. 2. Questions covered topics like the numerical aperture and acceptance angle of optical fibers given the refractive indices of the core and cladding. 3. Additional information provided included that the core of fiber-optic cables and single mode fibers are made of glass or doped silica, while cladding traps light in the core and guides it along the fiber. Cable attenuation is usually expressed in dB/km.
