Peter C. Schultz (born 1942) is an American academic who is co-inventor of the fiber optics used for telecommunications.He is retired President (1988 to 2001) of Heraeus Tenevo Inc., a technical glass manufacturer specializing in fiber optics and semiconductor markets, and retired Chief Technical Officer North America for Heraeus Holding GmbH.
Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [1][2] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [3] Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity to ...

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.
