Technique for the transmission of light from a transmitting source through a bundle of tiny and flexible glass fibers
  The branch of optical technology concerned with the transmission of light through fibers made of transparent materials such as glasses and plastics (188) [2196]  Note 1: Telecommunications applications of fiber optics use flexible low-loss fibers, using a single fiber per optical path Present-day plastic fibers have losses that are too high for telecommunications applications   Note 2: Various industrial and medical applications of fiber optics, such as endoscopes, use flexible fiber bundles in which individual fibers are spatially aligned, permitting optical relay of an image   Note 3:   Some specialized  industrial applications use rigid (fused) aligned fiber bundles for image transfer; such as in the fiber optics faceplates used on some cathode ray rubes (CRTs) to "flatten" the image
A technology that uses light as a digital information carrier The transmission medium is made up of small strands of glass, each of which provides a path for light rays that carry the data signal Fiberoptic technology offers large bandwidth, very high security, and immunity to electrical interference The glass-based transmission facilities also occupy far less space than other high-bandwidth media, which is a major advantage in crowded underground ducts
Consisting of bundles of glass or plastic threads, a fiber optic cable transmits data using light While expensive to install and more fragile and difficult to split than traditional metal (usually copper) communication lines, fiber optics have several advantages First, they can transmit more data because they have a great bandwidth They're also thinner, lighter and less susceptible than metal cables to interference And they can transmit data digitally rather than analogically
A method of transmitting light beams along optical fibers The optical fibers consist of thin strands of glass or other transparent matter with dozens or even hundreds of strands in a single cable When a beam of light is introduced at one end, it will remain within the fiber, reflecting off of the inner surfaces while traveling down the length of the fiber
Used for transmission of information using infra-red or even visible light as the carrier (usually a laser) The light beam is an electromagnetic signal It travels down a plastic or glass fibre made from silicon dioxide no thicker than a human hair Optical fibre is less susceptible to external noise than other transmission media, and is cheaper to make than copper wire, but it is much more difficult to connect Fiber optics are difficult to tamper with (to monitor or inject data in the middle of a connection), making them appropriate for secure communications The light beams do not escape from the medium because the material used provides total internal reflection
A medium for the transmission of information (audio, video, data) Light is modulated and transmitted over high purity, hair-thin fibers of glass The bandwidth capacity of fiber optic cable is much greater than that of conventional cable or copper wire
Transmission medium that uses glass fibers with high bandwidth to transport data or voice signals   The light beam, produced by a laser or light-emitting diode, is modulated to carry information
the transmission of light signals via glass fibers
Light transmission through optical fibers for communication or signaling
Technology involving the transmission of information over glass strands (fiber optic cables) using light A fiber optic transmission system includes a transmitter (a laser or light-emitting diode), fiber optic cable, and a receiver (a photodiode) Fiber optic systems can carry high data rates of up to several Gbps, or more
An optical system that uses glass or transparent plastic fibers as light transmitting media
Bundles of extremely thin glass or plastic filaments on which information is carried in the form of billions of pulses of light per second Fiber optic cable has much higher capacity than traditional copper or coaxial cable, and is not as subject to interference and noise
The technology in which communication signals in the form of modulated light beams are transmitted over a glass fiber transmission medium Fiber optic technology offers high bandwidth, small space needs and protection from electromagnetic interference, eavesdropping and radioactivity
noun Molded bundles of glass fiber that allow transmission of signals using light waves rather than electrical impulses; can carry many more pieces of voice, data and video than networks of similar amounts of traditional wiring
A technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves Fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables
Light transmission through optical fibers for communication and signaling A technology that transmits information as light pulses along a glass or plastic fiber Optical fiber carries much more information than conventional copper wire and is generally not subject to interference Most telephone company long-distance lines are optical fiber See RUS 1755 900
The branch of optical technology concerned with the transmission of radiant power through fibers made of transparent materials such as glass, fused silica, and plastic
The transmission of radiant power through fibers made of transparent materials such as glass, fused silica or plastic Fiber optic cables have much higher capacity than traditional wire cables, thereby creating more bandwidth for transmission of information
A technology that uses glass or plastic fibers (also called threads) to transmit data, instead of metal cables Fiber optic cables have more bandwidth than metal cables and can transmit data digitally, but they are also much more expensive and fragile Most Telcos, however, are gradually replacing their regular telephone lines with fiber optic cables Back to Top
The technology of transmitting and guiding optical radiation (light) along optical conductors
A data transmission medium using light conducted through glass or plastic fibers A fiber-optic cable has cores capable of conducting modulated light signals by internal reflection

fiber optic
A transmission medium designed to transmit digital signals in the form of pulses of light Fiber optic cable is noted for its properties of electrical isolation and resistance to electromagnetic interference
fiber optic
A very fine fiber of glass or plastic through which light can be transmitted by total internal reflection In telecommunications, electrical signals are converted to pulses of light for transmission and then converted back into electrical signals at the end of the cable These fibers have a very large bandwidth, so many more items of information can be transmitted down a fiber optic cable than down a conventional copper telecommunications cable (Novak)
fiber optic

fibre optics
Fibre optic means relating to or involved in fibre optics. fibre optic cables. the process of using very thin threads of glass or plastic to carry information in the form of light, especially on telephone lines. Thin transparent fibres of glass or plastic that transmit light through their length by internal reflections, used for transmitting data, voice, and images. Fibre-optic technology has virtually replaced copper wire in long-distance telephone lines and is used to link computers in local area networks, with digitized light pulses replacing the electric current formerly used for the signal. Telecommunication using fibre optics is usually conducted with infrared light. Fibre optics uses light in the visible wavelengths to transmit images directly, in various technical devices such as those developed for endoscopy
