Abstract
Fibre-optic communication is a form of optical communication for transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fibre. By allowing high-speed, high-capacity data transfer over great distances with minimum signal loss, fibre optical communication has transformed the sector of telecommunications. The basic ideas of fibre optics, including light propagation through optical fibres, important components like transmitters, receivers, and optical amplifiers, as well as the benefits of adopting fibre over conventional copper-based systems are discussed in this study. It also looks at the present technologies such as Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and investigates recent developments meant to enhance bandwidth, dependability, and cost-effectiveness. Fibre optic communication’s key significance in the digital age is underlined by the increasing need for quicker internet, cloud computing, and 5G networks. Photons travel in waves through the inner core of the fibre. Because this core region has higher refractive index (i.e. light travels more slowly) than does the fibre’s outer cladding, the light signal is focused within the core and prevented from radiating out of the fibre. Considering the difference in speed between both networks, fibre optic cables provide faster data transmission than wireless networks. While wireless networks can become slower during busy times, fibre optic connections remain strong, even during peak hours.
