What are the differences between single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers?
Interesting. Can you tell me how fiber optic communication works?
Sure. Fiber optic communication works by transmitting data as pulses of light through the optical fibers. The light signals are encoded with the data and then sent through the fiber at high speeds. The light signals travel through the core of the fiber and are reflected off of the cladding layer, which keeps the light contained within the fiber. At the receiving end, the light signals are decoded to retrieve the data.
