Optical Fiber Technology

Optical fiber technology uses thin strands of glass or plastic fibers to transmit data as light signals. These fibers carry information—like internet, phone, and television signals—by bouncing light pulses inside the core through a process called total internal reflection. This method allows for high-speed, high-capacity data transfer over long distances with minimal loss or interference. The technology is fundamental to modern telecommunications, providing reliable and efficient connectivity. In essence, optical fibers act as super-efficient channels that carry enormous amounts of digital information quickly and securely.
