  2. Dark fibre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_fibre

    Many dark fibre metropolitan area networks use cheap Gigabit Ethernet equipment over CWDM, rather than expensive SONET ring systems. They offer very high price-performance for network users who require high performance, such as Google , which has dark network capacities for video and search data, [ 11 ] or wish to operate their own network for ...

  3. Biophotonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophotonics

    Biophotonics can also be described as the "development and application of optical techniques, particularly imaging, to the study of biological molecules, cells and tissue". [2] One of the main benefits of using the optical techniques which make up biophotonics is that they preserve the integrity of the biological cells being examined. [3] [4]

  4. Fiber management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_Management_System

    FMS has fiber in and fiber out ports. From fiber out port the fiber patch will go to fiber optics based router. FMS is a process by which a fiber network is managed. It tracks functions or attributes of the system such as schematic design, physical locations of assets, splice points (mechanical/fusion), and more. [1]

  5. 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.

  6. 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 ]

  7. Optical mesh network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mesh_network

    Switching, multiplexing, and grooming of traffic in an OEO device. Optical mesh networks refer to transport networks that are built directly off the mesh-like fiber infrastructure deployed in metropolitan, regional, national, or international (e.g., trans-oceanic) areas by deploying optical transport equipment that is capable of switching traffic (at the wavelength or sub-wavelength level ...

  8. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

    Optical fiber is an intrinsic part of the light-transmitting concrete building product LiTraCon. Optical fiber can also be used in structural health monitoring. This type of sensor can detect stresses that may have a lasting impact on structures. It is based on the principle of measuring analog attenuation.

  9. Synchronous optical networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_optical_networking

    Network management systems are used to configure and monitor SDH and SONET equipment either locally or remotely. The systems consist of three essential parts, covered later in more detail: Software running on a network management system terminal, e.g. workstation, dumb terminal or laptop housed in an exchange/central office.
