száloptikában
Száloptikában, often referred to as fiber optics, is a technology that utilizes thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data as light pulses. This method of communication offers several advantages over traditional copper wiring, including higher bandwidth, faster speeds, and greater immunity to electromagnetic interference. The core of a fiber optic cable is made of a highly pure glass or plastic material, surrounded by a cladding layer with a lower refractive index. This difference in refractive index causes light to be reflected internally, guiding it along the length of the fiber.
The principle of total internal reflection is fundamental to how fiber optic cables work. When light enters
Fiber optic technology has revolutionized telecommunications, enabling high-speed internet, television services, and long-distance phone calls. It
