What is the definition of advanced fiber optics?

Fiber optics are usually manufactured in long fibers, or string shapes. They can bend and flex like the fibers that make up your clothes, altough they are a bit more rigid and fragile. The word 'optic' means that it has to do with light. Sometimes a fiber optic cable is called an 'optical fiber'. Essentially they are like pipes that can guide light along a specific path.


Difference between coaxical cable and fiber optics?

Hi, Fiber Optics transmit signal using lights rather than electic current, so when signal passes though an optical fiber cable, it does not generate electric or magnetic field around it, and it is not affected by surrounding magnetic or electric fields Adv of optical fiber is that they are immune to noise, signal passes at lights speed, and no signal power is lost along the transmission line.


When was the optical telescope invented?
