Optical fibers are used both in medical and telecommunication purposes. Optical fibres are able to convey 100% of the light waves so they are used for seeing the internal organs of your body. Since they can transmit electromagnetic signals with such efficiency they are used for communications like underground cable and telephone wires.
Typically, light in the form of laser beams is used to carry information through optical fibers. The laser light pulses encode data that is transmitted through the fibers in the form of light signals.
That laser light really did damage my optic nerve.
The different optical power units used to measure the intensity of light in optical systems are diopters and watts. Diopters measure the refractive power of a lens, while watts measure the total power of light emitted or transmitted through a system.
Optical sensors are used to detect and measure light levels, colors, distances, and patterns. They are commonly used in cameras, barcode scanners, medical devices, and industrial automation systems for tasks such as detection, sorting, and monitoring.
Optical beat interference occurs when two optical signals with slightly different frequencies interfere with each other, creating a beat frequency signal. This interference is commonly used in optical devices such as interferometers to extract information about the phase or frequency of the signals.
it is used in optical fibres for data transmission.
Only light is used to send signals along optical fibres. That's why this type of fibre is described as "optical". Fibres designed to conduct electrical signals are referred to as "wires".
There seems to be some confusion here! Visible light was being used - to see things, for example - millions of years before optical fibres were invented!
Optical Fibres. To know more, look up Silicon tetrachloride.

optical fibres work on the principle of total internal reflection.that is a long concept but easily available.because of this T.I.R the light transmitted through the wires is very small.so it can travel a longer distance(not necessarily rectilinear).so it finda application in medical surgery to get a view of the organs by inserting optical fibres through the wind pipe.it is also used to carry light to those materials that cannot be placed inside a spectroscope directly.they are also used for decoration purpose.the lamps with glowing hairs are good examples.
optical fibres are made out of materials with high refractive index, this ensures that the light is always reflected back inside the fibre..
Infrared & Microwaves are used to carry information through Optical Fibres. Infrared carries visible light Radio Waves & Microwaves carry telephony and computed data E.Akbay
This is because they can carry more information than copper wire and alsoare less expensive to repair
No ,only translucent, the chopped fibres of glass scatter the light preventing optical clarity.
Linen made from the stems of the flax plant
We get cotton fibres from cotton balls that is cotton flowers. But we get jute fibres from the stem of the jute plant not from the jute flowers.
