Optical technology
Optical technology involves using light—such as lasers and fiber optics—to transmit, process, and store information. It enables high-speed communication by sending data as pulses of light through thin strands of glass or plastic fibers, which can carry vast amounts of information over long distances with minimal loss. This technology underpins modern telecommunications, internet infrastructure, medical instruments, and imaging devices, providing faster, more efficient, and reliable data transmission and processing compared to traditional electronic methods.
