Optical Transmitters

Optical transmitters are devices that convert electrical signals into light signals to send data over fiber optic cables. They typically use a component called a laser or LED to produce a focused light beam that encodes information. This light travels through the fiber optic cable with minimal loss, allowing high-speed, long-distance communication. Optical transmitters are essential in telecommunications, internet infrastructure, and data centers, providing fast and reliable data transfer. They work in tandem with receivers that decode the light back into electrical signals for use by electronic devices.
