Carrier of Fiber Optic Communication Signals
The optical carrier is fundamental to modern high-speed data transmission, serving as the foundation for global communication. Fiber-optic communication is a form of optical communication for transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. A laser's stable, highly directional beam of light (emitted from tiny semiconductor windows that measure just a few hundred thousandths of a square millimeter) can carry enormous amounts of information. Carrier waves can take various forms, including radio waves, ultra-high-frequency (UHF) waves, microwaves, or mil-limeter waves.
