Optical Fiber

These fibre optics are mainly used to carry larger information from one place to another place such that the loss of the information is very less when compared to the ordinary electrical cables because fibres are being uses rather than metals. In this case the fibres don’t get any kind of effect from the electromagnetic interferences whereas metals do. These fibres are usually made of silica glass or plastic which have diameter less than the diameter of human hair. These fibres are also used for illumination purpose and imaging especially in the case of aerospace
