INTRODUCTION • The use of light for the transmission of information is far from a new idea. • Fiber optics is a relatively new technology that uses rays of light to send information over hair-thin fibers at blinding speeds. • These fibers are used as an alternative to conventional copper wire in a variety of applications such as those associated with security, telecommunications, instrumentation and control, broadcast or audio/visual systems.
WHAT IS AN OPTICAL FIBER An optical fiber is a wave guide for light consists of : core inner part where wave propagates cladding outer part used to keep wave in core buffer protective coating jacket outer protective shield can have a connector too
ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL FIBER • Small Size • Light Weight • High Bandwidth • No Short Circuits • Fewer Repeaters • Noise Immunity • Transmission Security
DISADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL FIBER • Cost • Taps • Fear of New Technologies
APPLICATION IN DIFFERENT FIELDS • SUBMERGED SYSTEM • MILITARY APPLICATIONS • CIVIL APPLICATIONS • CONSUMER APPLICATIONS • INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS • OPTICAL COMPUTING

OPTICAL COMPUTING • An optical computer is a device that uses visible light or infrared beams, rather than electric current, to perform digital computations. • Optical computers promise speeds, which will be thousands, even millions of times faster than those of today's most efficient supercomputers. • The optical computer could revolutionize computing in much the same way that the semiconductor chip revolutionized electronics 30 years ago. • An electric current flows at only about 10 percent of the speed of light.
TYPES OF CABLES • DISTRIBUTION CABLE • INDOOR/OUTDOOR TIGHT BUFFER CABLE • INDOOR/OUTDOOR BREAKOUT CABLE • LOOSE TUBE CABLE • AERIAL CABLE/SELF-SUPPORTING CABLE • HYBRID & COMPOSITE CABLE • ARMORED CABLE • SMOKE ZERO HALOGEN CABLE
BRIEF IDEA ABOUT CONNECTORS • Connectors are used to join two fibers together, or to connect a fiber to a piece of equipment • There are two main ways of describing optical connectors - by the family or type of connector, and by the type of end finish that they have. • Main types of connectors include • Epoxy & polish • 2. Pre-loaded epoxy or no-epoxy & polish • 3. No-epoxy & no-polish
CONNECTOR CLEANING • Connector damage can occur if foreign particles are caught in the end face area of mated connectors. • Connector cleaning is simply completed by wiping the connector ferrule and end face with some isopropyl alcohol and a lint free tissue. • Another option for connector cleaning is the cassette type cleaners which use a dry tape system where the tape is advanced every time the cassette is opened ensuring the clean section of tape is used each time.
CONCLUSION • The applications of the fiber optics field are still emerging and developing so rapidly that, it is impossible to keep track each and every innovations and inventions. • All the above compilations gives idea about the tremendous potential associated with this field. • The future is not so distant when scientists and researchers will come up with more and more futuristic products and applications using optical fibers.
