Can You Give Me A Definition Of Fiber Optics? |
|
Answer» What we call "fiber optics" is communications by modulated light guided through a transparent optical fiber. As a relatively young technology, the nomenclature can be QUITE varied among USERS. In the UK, it's fiber optics, sometimes its fiber optics or fiber optics (as one word). Within the business, we GENERALLY SAY "fiber" when we refer to the optical fiber itself, although some USE it to mean a cable of optical fiber. Lennie Lightwave has a fiber optic glossary on the web.
