Fibre Optic Communications


We have all the key elements for fibre optic communications:

  • light sources to generate optical signals or to convert electrical signals into optical signals

  • optical fibres to guide the light

  • detectors to convert optical signals into electrical signals

  • 
    
    However we are still missing the essential elements that can allow us to build a network.
    
    
    
    Can you think of what these might be?
