2. 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 ]

3. 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 ...

4. Optical computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_computing

   These will be nonlinear optical crystals used to manipulate light beams into controlling other light beams. 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)

5. Optical communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_communication

   Optical fiber is the most common type of channel for optical communications. The transmitters in optical fiber links are generally light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes. Infrared light is used more commonly than visible light, because optical fibers transmit infrared wavelengths with less attenuation and dispersion.

   This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 19 December 2024. 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 ...

7. Optical modulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_modulator

   For this reason light modulators are, e.g. in fiber-optic communications, called external light modulators. With laser diodes where narrow linewidth is required, direct modulation is avoided due to a high bandwidth "chirping" effect when applying and removing the current to the laser.
