A thin flexible fibre with a glass core through which light signals can be sent with very little loss of strength.
Example sentencesExamples
- In that technique, an optical fiber is used to transmit light from a specially coated lens.
- That is, one thin strand of optical fiber can receive and transmit light from 40 lasers at the same time.
- The light detected by the receiver is transmitted through an optical fibre to a computerised spectrum analyser.
- Such fibres might outperform normal optical fibres because light trapped in their hollow core travels through a tenuous gas, rather than a solid glass.
- At the basic level, a digital electrical signal is converted to an optical signal and transmitted across an optical fiber using a laser.
