2. Introduction
• Optical fiber communication is a method of
transmitting information from one place to
another by sending light through an optical
fiber.

3. History
• The development of optical fiber
communication began in the 1960s. Charles
Kao is considered the 'father of fiber optics'.

4. Basic Structure
• An optical fiber consists of a core, cladding,
and protective coating. Light is transmitted
through the core by total internal reflection.

5. Types of Fibers
• There are two main types: single-mode fiber
(for long distances) and multi-mode fiber (for
shorter distances).

10. Transmitters
• Transmitters use light sources such as LEDs
and laser diodes to convert electrical signals
into light signals.

11. Receivers
• Receivers use photodiodes to detect light
signals and convert them back into electrical
signals.

12. Light Propagation
• Light travels in modes through the fiber,
governed by the acceptance angle and
numerical aperture.

13. Attenuation
• Losses occur due to absorption, scattering,
and bending of light within the fiber.

14. Dispersion
• Different types of dispersion (modal,
chromatic, polarization) can spread out the
signal in time.

15. Cable Design
• Cables include buffer coatings and strength
members to protect the fiber and allow for
flexibility.
