Optical interconnects

Optical interconnects are systems that transmit data using light instead of electrical signals, typically through thin strands of glass or plastic called fibers. They are used to connect different parts of computers, data centers, or telecommunication networks, allowing for very high-speed data transfer over long distances with minimal loss. Unlike traditional electrical cables, optical interconnects can carry larger amounts of data more quickly and reliably, making them essential for modern high-performance communication infrastructure. They help improve network efficiency, reduce latency, and support the growing demands of data-intensive applications.
