The Optical Fibre


Optical fibres are a key element in light wave communication.
The main job of an optical fibre is to guide the light (which carries the information) with minimum attenuation or loss of the signal.

Optical fibres are fine threads of glass which are capable of transmitting light at about 2/3 the speed of light in vacuum.
