2. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   A solid-state version of the gyroscope, using the interference of light, has been developed. The fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) has no moving parts and exploits the Sagnac effect to detect mechanical rotation. Common uses for fiber optic sensors include advanced intrusion detection security systems. The light is transmitted along a fiber optic ...

3. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   Fiber-optic communication is a form of optical communication for 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 ]

4. Optical networking - Wikipedia

   Their fiber was able to carry 65,000 times more information than copper. The first fiber-optic system for live telephone traffic was in 1977 in Long Beach, Calif., by General Telephone and Electronics, with a data rate of 6 Mbit/s. Early systems used infrared light at a wavelength of 800 nm, and could transmit at up to 45 Mbit/s with repeaters ...

Cable assembly containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly ...

6. Optical computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_computing

   Like any computing system, an optical computing system needs four things to function well: optical processor; optical data transfer, e.g. fiber-optic cable; optical storage, [8] optical power source (light source) Substituting electrical components will need data format conversion from photons to electrons, which will make the system slower.

7. Fiber-optic sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_sensor

   Extrinsic fiber-optic sensors use an optical fiber cable, normally a multimode one, to transmit modulated light from either a non-fiber optical sensor, or an electronic sensor connected to an optical transmitter. A major benefit of extrinsic sensors is their ability to reach places which are otherwise inaccessible.
