What are the alternatives to optical fibers?
Copper wires and satellite transmission.
What are optical fibers made of?
Good optical fiber is made of glass, but inexpensive fiber is sometimes made of plastic.
Why optical fibers has large bandwidth?
Study the optical transmission property of glass, to learn more. also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber You might wish to refine the question to differentiate between optical bandwidth and data bandwidth. If a laser can be modulated and the beam directed through an optical fiber, then the data or the analog bandwidth is about equal to the modulation bandwidth capability of the laser in Hz per second.
What are the different types of splices for optical fibers?
1. Fusion splices: Use an arc to melt and connect two fibers. 2. Connectorised splices: Use various types of connectors like BNC, ST, etc. These can either be straight- or diagonal-cut fibers. 3. Epoxy splices: Here fibers are joined with the help of refractive index matching glue and guiding sleeves or jackets.
Transistors are generally free from which type of noise?
Partition Noise, which occurs in vacuum tubes, optical fibers etc.
A device that transforms sound into an electronic signal that is transmitted through wires or optical fibers is a?
telephone
How is a message transmitted through a glass fiber?
Different types of information are transmitted from one place to another by signals of light pulses through optical fibers.
What is the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound?
Fiber optics does not transmit sound. The long tiny fibers are long narrow strands of glass or a glass-like material generally referred to as optical fibers. Light travels inside these strands with little loss. Modulating the light makes the light into a signal and so the light can carry information. One common use of optical fibers to transmit information is the use to communicate phone calls, so sound is convered to a light signal and transmitted through optical fibers and at the other end it can be converted back into sound. Optical fibers do not transmit sound but transmit light that contains the information abut the sound. The phase "concentrated light" does not really apply to this process in an obvious way because "concentrated" is a term with meaning only in a comparative sense. Light is transmitted through optical fibers and carries digital information of all sorts.
Are HCS optical fibers smaller than glass optical fibers?
false!
Can elecricity be transfered by optical fibers?
No.The idea of optic fibers is to transfer light as in pulses of information.We use optic fibers during surgery too, and these fibers can carry high energy beams.Thought of mind:It is possible to convert electricity into light, transmit it through the cable and then use a solar-panel at other end to convert back to electricity again.The loss would most likely be great. The energy would need to be "packed" together in a tiny lazer beam. This beam would possibly burn through your Solar-panel at the other end.
How is light able to move through optical fibers?
isn't that what optical light is? like you know on certain fake Christmas trees ,, they have those lights in them that change colors; not tree lights but optical lights?
What reflection makes the transmission of light through optical fibers possible?
The so-called "total internal reflection".
How many modes can be transmitted in multi mode fiber?
Multi mode fiber are optical fibers which support multiple transverse guided modes for a given optical frequency and polarization. The number of guided modes is determined by the wavelength and the refractive index profile.
What kind of light is used to carry information through optical fibers?
The light used in optical fibres is either visible or infra red like my super whizzie broadband....
When were optical fibers first made?
1856
What is inside optical fibers?
Mirrored glass
Which kind of light is used to carry information through optical fibers?
Infrared & Microwaves are used to carry information through Optical Fibres. Infrared carries visible light Radio Waves & Microwaves carry telephony and computed data E.Akbay
