  2. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    The fourth generation of fiber-optic communication systems used optical amplification to reduce the need for repeaters and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to increase data capacity. The introduction of WDM was the start of optical networking, as WDM became the technology of choice for fiber-optic bandwidth expansion.

  3. Wavelength-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength-division...

    Multiplexing. In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing ( WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i.e., colors) of laser light. [1] This technique enables bidirectional communications over a single strand of fiber (also called ...

  4. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

    An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [a] from one end to the other. Such fibers find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

  5. Passive optical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_optical_network

    An SC APC fiber optic cable commonly used to link ONTs to the PON network. A passive optical network ( PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end-customers. Its architecture implements a point-to-multipoint topology in which a single optical fiber serves multiple endpoints by using ...

  6. Optical networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_networking

    Optical networking is a means of communication that uses signals encoded in light to transmit information in various types of telecommunications networks.These include limited range local-area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WANs), which cross metropolitan and regional areas as well as long-distance national, international and transoceanic networks.

  7. Radio over fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_over_fiber

    Radio over fiber (RoF) or RF over fiber (RFoF) refers to a technology whereby light is modulated by a radio frequency signal and transmitted over an optical fiber link. Main technical advantages of using fiber optical links are lower transmission losses and reduced sensitivity to noise and electromagnetic interference compared to all-electrical signal transmission.

  8. Fiber-optic sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_sensor

    Fiber-optic sensor. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). Fibers have many uses in remote sensing.

  9. Charles K. Kao - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._Kao

    In 1969, Kao with M. W. Jones measured the intrinsic loss of bulk-fused silica at 4 dB/km, which is the first evidence of ultra-transparent glass. Bell Labs started considering fiber optics seriously. As of 2017, fiber optic losses (from both bulk and intrinsic sources) are as low as 0.1419 dB/km at the 1.56 μm wavelength.
