Introduction to electronics
Why do we need Fiber-
optic communication?
They're designed for long distance,
high-performance data networking,
and telecommunications.
Compared to wired cables, fiber
optic cables provide higher
bandwidth and can transmit data
over longer distances.

Comparison with
electrical transmission
o Fiber optic cables transmit data at much higher speed than copper wires. This is
because the speed of light is greater than the speed of electrons.
o Fiber optic cables have a much larger bandwidth of over 60 Tbps in comparison to
10 Gbps bandwidth of copper wires.
o Fiber optic cables have very low attenuation. Repeaters need to be added only
after every 50 km as compared to 5 km in copper wires.
o Fiber optic cables are not affected by electromagnetic interferences and power
fluctuations. They are minimally affected by power failures.
o Fiber optic cables are much more secured since they cannot be tapped easily.
o The life cycle of fiber cables is 30-50 years, which is much higher than copper
cables.

Single-mode Fibers
o Single-Mode Fibers: Single mode
fibers are used to transmit one
signal per fiber; these fibers are
used in telephone and television
sets. Single mode fibers have small
cores.

Types of optical
fiber
Multi-mode Fibers
o Multi-Mode Fibers: Multimode fibers
are used to transmit many signals per
fiber; these signals are used in
computer and local area networks that
have larger cores.
