Transmission medium for fiber optic communication systems
Modern fiber-optic communication systems generally include optical transmitters that convert electrical signals into optical signals, optical fiber cables to carry the signal, optical amplifiers, and optical receivers to convert the signal back into an electrical signal. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. It forms the fundamental pathway through which information is transmitted, ensuring connectivity between networked devices. The transmitter converts incoming binary data to ON-OFF light pulses, which are launched into the fiber. Unlike traditional copper or wireless systems, fiber optics provide superior data security and immunity to.
