Mineral fibers

June 27, 2011

Mineral fibers can be particular strong because they are formed with a low number of surface defects.

Polymer fibers are a subset of man-made fibers, which are based on synthetic chemicals (often from petrochemical sources) rather than arising from natural materials by a purely physical process. These fibers are made from: polyamide nylon,

Optical fiber cable Design(2)

A critical concern in outdoor cabling is to protect the fiber from contamination by water. This is accomplished by use of solid barriers such as copper tubes, and water-repellent jelly or water-absorbing powder surrounding the fiber.

Forms of optical communication

There are many forms of non-technological optical communication, including body language and sign language.

ptical fiber communication

June 25, 2011

Optical fiber is the most common type of channel for optical communications, however, other types of optical waveguides are used within computers or communications gear, and have even formed the channel of very short distance (e.g. chip-to-chip, intra-chip) links in laboratory trials.

Free-space optical communication(History)

June 25, 2011

Optical communications, in various forms, have been used for thousands of years. The Ancient Greeks polished their shields to send signals during battle. In the modern era, semaphores and wireless solar telegraphs called heliographs were developed, using coded signals to communicate with their recipients.
