Not quite sure what you mean; light itself IS wave.
slows down i think
Slow down, refracting.
no. they slow down.
scroll down to find out :o WOW u stupid just waisted 10 seconds of ur life
Flexibility? That is a broad term, but my best answer would be extremely flexible. As for the current conventional methods? Limited. Fiber optics transmit data by using light pulses. If you send more than one(ish) signals, the data interpretation and back end logic would be proportionally slowed down. If you don't understand that, I can't help you. However, I gave extremely flexible as an answer first, and let me explain. Traditional fiber optics isn't as developed as it should be, and lacks the programming side necessary to take it to a true multi-channel level. Since it isn't hardware, the properties of light dictate its only bounds (past the front and back side engineering). You think of a way to transmit and interpret light pulses, and optical fiber will be your medium of choice. If you can't think of a way, just copy everyone else with their outdated fibers with limited signals. KTHX BAI.
Optical fiber cables transmit light from one end to the other. The data is encoded into this light beam and travels down the fiber in this light. Obviously you need optical sensors at each end to get the information in and out.
Modes are different energy components(or rays) of light traveling down an optical fiber waveguide. (Instead of just single energy rays) Since it is practically impossible to separate a monochromatic light(ray) we have different wavelengths and hence different energy light waves(or rays).

The light traveling in an optical fiber is literally bouncing off the walls of the fiber. The outside layer of the glass is called the cladding. It is different from the glass inside. It was annealed during the fiber making process. The cladding does not allow much of the light to escape. Unless it is above a critical angle it will bounce down the way to the other end.
The "v parameter" of an optical fiber stands for the V number, which represents the normalized frequency within the fiber core. It is calculated based on the core diameter, operating wavelength, and numerical aperture of the fiber. The V number helps in characterizing the modal behavior and guiding properties of the optical fiber.
Optical fiber is used to carry light ... either visible or else infra-red. So the source you want to use is a stable, reliable source of light, that's small enough to efficiently couple into the tiny window at the end of the fiber, and whose brightness can be changed easily and fast in order to put information onto the light (modulate it). It also helps if the light consists entirely of a single color (wavelength), because different wavelengths travel down the fiber at different speeds, so multiple wavelengths could get spread out and arrive at the far end in a real mess. The best, most widely used source available today is the laser diode.

As you should know, as light travels from one medium into another more optically dense medium (such as from air into water) the light is refracted towards the normal. But why does the light appear to bend and refract? Light acts not only as a particle, but also as a wave. When the light hits the more optically dense medium it slows down. This also happens with water waves. As the waves come towards the shore the ocean becomes more shallow and they speed up, when the water waves speed up they bend away from the normal. The same thing is happening with the light waves. As light waves are hitting the more optically dense material, because they slow down they oppose and opposite effect to the water waves and bend towards the normal. I hope this helped. :)
Optical fiber vs Coaxial cable... Optical fiber is glass strands and uses light to transmit the sound in 1's and 0's (digital). No interference from magnetic fields, lights, power transformers and other things that can introduce noise into your sound or music. Coaxial cable is metal strands and uses electrical impulses to send the sound or signal down the wire. Because it is metal strands and is using electrical signal to send the sounds down the wire it is susceptible to interference from radio waves, magnetic fields created by transformers (wall warts), microwaves, fluorescent lights, anything else in the room that has an electrical signal can potentially impact and muddy your sound going down the wire. That being said, it is fairly well shielded and unless it is near strong electrical fields or noise producing environments it might be OK. If you have a choice, I would choose Optical cable. Less noise, less chance for interference, cleaner sound. -BW
