Optical Communication Systems

Optical communication systems use light to transmit information over distances. This is typically done through fiber optic cables, which are thin strands of glass or plastic that carry light signals. The light pulses represent data, such as phone calls, internet traffic, or TV signals. Because light travels fast and can carry a lot of information simultaneously, optical communication is efficient and supports high-speed connections. These systems are essential for telecommunications, internet infrastructure, and various technologies, making our modern communication networks possible.
