How Fiber Optics Work
Fiber Optics Work

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a
long, straight hallway. You could place a mirror at the
bend to reflect the light beam around the corner.

 You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam
so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway.
This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.
A Fiber-Optic Relay System

To understand how optical fibers are used in communications
systems, let's look at an example from a World War II movie or
documentary where two naval ships in a fleet need to
communicate with each other.One ship pulls up alongside the
other. The captain of one ship sends a message to a sailor on
deck. The sailor translates the message into Morse code and
uses a signal light to send the message to the other ship. A
sailor on the deck of the other ship sees the Morse code
message, decodes it into English and sends the message up to
the captain.
How Are Optical Fibers Made?

Now that we know how fiber-optic systems work and why
they are useful .Optical fibers are made of extremely
pure optical glass.
We think of a glass window as transparent, but the thicker
the glass gets, the less transparent it becomes due to
impurities in the glass. However, the glass in an optical
fiber has far fewer impurities than window-pane glass.
Advantages of Fiber Optics

Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be
made cheaper than equivalent lengths of copper wire.

 Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are
thinner than copper wires,

Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires,
light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of
other fibers in the same cable
continuation

Low power - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less,
lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-
voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires.
 Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying
digital information, which is especially useful in computer
networks
Flexible - Because fiber optics are so flexible and can transmit
and receive light, they are used in many flexible digital
camera for the following purposes:
