Presentation Transcript

  1. Fibre Optics Networks Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses oflight through an optical fibre. What’s fibre optics network?. An optical fiber junction box.

  2. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the informationage.

  3. Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. A bundle of optical fibers

  4. The most commonly used optical transmitters are semiconductor devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes. A GBIC module (shown here with its cover removed), is an optical and electrical transceiver. The electrical connector is at top right, and the optical connectors are at bottom left

  5. Receivers • The main component of an optical receiver is a photo detector, which converts light into electricity using the photoelectric effect.

  6. In 1880 Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant Charles Sumner Tainter created a very early precursor to fiber-optic communications, the Photo phone, at Bell's newly established Volta Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Bell considered it his most important invention. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light. Portrait of Alexander Graham Bell
