Fiber Optic Communication work

The Source of Light There are two commonly used light sources: Laser and LED For short distances or low data applications, light emitting diodes (or LEDS) are used. Laser Diodes are used for greater distances and high data rate.

Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cable is a cylinder-shaped dielectric waveguide consisting of low-loss material. The size of the fiber optic cable is slightly thicker than a piece of human hair.

Photo or Light Detectors The most commonly used materials for these devises are germanium, InGaAs, or silicone.
