Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared light through an optical fiber. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber-optic cables transmit data via pulses of light. Optical fibers are very thin strands of glass or plastic less than 1/10 the thickness of a human hair.
Detailed explanation-3: -The transceiver is an important part of a fiber optics network and is used to convert electrical signals to optical (light) signals and optical signals to electrical signals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
