INTRODUCTION

The use of light for the transmission of information is far from a new idea.

Fiber optics is a relatively new technology that

uses rays of light to send information over hair-thin fibers at blinding speeds.

These fibers are used as an alternative toconventional copper wire in a variety of

applications such as those associated withsecurity, telecommunications, instrumentationand control, broadcast or audio/visual systems.



consists of :

core inner part where wave propagates

cladding outer part used to keep wave incore

buffer protective coating

jacketouter protective shield

WHAT IS AN OPTICALFIBERAn optical fiber is a wave guide for light

can havea

connector too



ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL

FIBER• Small Size

• Light Weight

• High Bandwidth

• No Short Circuits

• Fewer Repeaters

• Noise Immunity

• Transmission Security



DISADVANTAGES OF

OPTICAL FIBER• Cost

• Taps

• Fear of New Technologies

OPTICAL COMPUTING

An optical computer is a device that uses visiblelight or infrared beams, rather than electriccurrent, to perform digital computations.

Optical computers promise speeds, which will bethousands, even millions of times faster thanthose of today's most efficient supercomputers.

The optical computer could revolutionizecomputing in much the same way that thesemiconductor chip revolutionized electronics 30

years ago.An electric current flows at only about 10 percent

of the speed of light.

BRIEF IDEA ABOUT

CONNECTORS• Connectors are used to join two fibers together,

or to connect a fiber to a piece of equipment

• There are two main ways of describing opticalconnectors - by the family or type of connector,and by the type of end finish that they have.

Main types of connectors include

1. Epoxy & polish2.preloaded epoxy or no-epoxy & polish

3. No-epoxy & no-polish



CONNECTORCLEANINGConnector damage can occur if foreign

particles are caught in the end face area of mated connectors.

Connector cleaning is simply completed bywiping the connector ferrule and end face withsome isopropyl alcohol and a lint free tissue.

Another option for connector cleaning is the

cassette type cleaners which use a dry tapesystem where the tape is advanced every timethe cassette is opened ensuring the cleansection of tape is used each time.



CONCLUSION

• The applications of the fiber optics field are stillemerging and developing so rapidly that, it isimpossible to keep track each and every innovationsand inventions.

• All the above compilations gives idea about thetremendous potential associated with this field.

• The future is not so distant when scientists andresearchers will come up with more and more futuristic

products and applications using optical fibers.
