As a transport medium for communication in the modern communication hungry world, fiber optics is a critical and omnipresent technology vital to intelligent human existence and comfort. The massive data explosion triggered by bandwidth heavy multimedia content, such as, video, voice, multimedia, has and will continue to throw the focus on data transfer rate capability of communication networks. The continuously growing number of users sharing a network, use of advanced applications, faster desktop PCs, and faster network servers, all of which contribute to traffic congestion, are creating a dire need for networks to support gigabit transmission speeds. This insatiable need for faster and faster transmission speeds is forecast to continue gathering momentum as businesses adopt bleeding edge networking technologies, such as, data warehousing, cloud computing, server virtualization, all of which have immense resource demands i.e. higher storage needs, and bandwidth-hogging applications.
