système de télécommunication par fibre optique

CONT: Fiber Optics. A general term describing a light wave or optical communication system. Electrical information is converted to light energy, transmitted through optical fibers, and converted back into electrical information.
CONT: The basic components of an optical fiber communication system include the transmitter (laser and LED), the fiber (multimode, single mode, dispersion-shifted) and the receiver (PIN and APD detectors, coherent detectors, optical preamplifiers, receiver electronics).
