Optical Fiber: circuitry, it converts them into a light signal
An optical fiber can be understood as a with the help of a light source. This source is

light pulses using optical fiber is known as
fiber optic communication. Here, the light is
in the form of a carrier signal that is changed
to hold the data. The fiber optic cables
replace the electrical cables whenever long
distance, high bandwidth, and resistance to
electromagnetic interference are necessary.
Fiber-optic communication is mainly used
for transmitting voice, video & telemetry
using LANs. In many telecommunication
companies, optical fiber is used for
transmitting the signals of telephone, cable Parts of a Fiber:
TV signals, Internet communication. In Bell
Labs, the researchers have investigated and
reached a record of BW distance 100 petabit
× kilometers for each second with fiber-
optic communication.
Working procedure:
Unlike copper wire-based transmission
where the transmission entirely depends on
electrical signals passing through the cable,
fiber optics transmission involves the
transmission of signals in the form of light
from one point to the other. Furthermore, a
fiber optic communication network consists
of transmitting and receiving circuitry, a
light source, and detector devices like the
ones shown in the figure.
When the input data, in the form of
electrical signals, is given to the transmitter
