Optical Fiber Communication

Optical fiber communication uses thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data as light signals over long distances. In this method, Fourier Optics plays a crucial role by analyzing how light waves behave when they travel through the fiber. Essentially, it helps us understand how to effectively encode, transmit, and decode information using light, ensuring clarity and efficiency. The signals can carry vast amounts of data quickly and with minimal loss, making optical fibers the backbone of modern telecommunications, enabling everything from internet connections to phone calls.
