Laser and Fiber Optics

Fiber optics is a technology that uses glass or plastic threads to transmit data. A data fiber optics cable consists of a bundle of glass threads capable of transmitting messages that are modulated into light waves. The following article will contain a variety of technical details that will, hopefully, shed some light on the subject […]

To the layman, fiber optics technology may seem like an amazingly complex concept and, of course, there is a huge amount of science and technical jargon that goes into the explanation of a technology that allows a series of tiny, hair-like fiber optics cables to beam information using lasers around the world.
But, at its core […]

Fiber optics are strands of pure glass that are as thin as human hair. These strands of glass carry digital information over long distances and are used in all sorts of activities, most commonly telephone calls and cable TV transmissions. Fiber optics also transmit light signals through the strand. This light travels through the core […]

The most exotic technologies eventually become ubiquitous, so common that one doesn’t even notice them anymore.  Fiber optic technology has made that transition.  Once the exclusive wonder of the laser labs and scientists, it can now be found in everything from fiber optic pool lights to children’s toys.
What Makes Fiber Optic Technology So Common?
To put […]

The fiber optics connector is not as simple as a crimp-on copper connector; it is a multi-part technical connector with many pieces, designed to the specific purpose of the fiber optic line.  There are certain inherent technical issues with the fiber optic connector that have to be addressed in any application.
Design of the Fiber Optic […]

Fiber optics technology has made leaps and bounds since it really took off in the mid 20th century. Now, as miles upon miles of increasingly antiquated copper wire are being replaced by fiber optics cables, communications providers and fiber optics receiver transmitter companies are setting their sights on the home as the new fiber optics […]

Running fiber optic networking can be a very technical operation, and the most important of tools are the fiber optic test equipment.  This importance grows from the need and sensitivity of digital data to be clear and precise.
What Fiber Optic Test Equipment is Needed
There are several specialized pieces of fiber optic test equipment, and it […]

While hundreds of miles of fiber optics cable options are buried underneath and above huge office complexes, you don’t have to be a multi-million dollar, Fortune 500 company to reap the tremendous benefits of fiber optics cable options and the like.
With costs low and installation becoming simpler, even the home office can benefit from the […]

We are living in a modern age in which technology is at the forefront of moving us forward as a civilization. It seems that with each passing day new pieces of information give way to new pieces of technology that unravel and give way to more and more advances that push us into an age […]

There are many undeniable handy uses for fiber optic lights, and with this often comes the increased usability of fiber optics. It is not only the socially beneficial places like the hospital, libraries, police stations, etc., that have access to fiber optic lights. Even the ordinary person can get their hands on fiber optics lights […]

Learning about fiber optics can be rewarding for more reasons than one. For starters, the future of technology is dependent on fiber optics for properly transmitting essential information. Many pieces of computerized technology and other items such as telephones utilize fiber optics in their operation, so investing in fiber optics training can help give a […]

A transmitter is a device that converts one type of energy or signal into another type of energy or signal, so it stands to reason that a fiber optics transmitter is a device that transmits electrical (analog) signals into optical signals and back again. The most common known devices used as the fiber optics transmitter […]
