LASERs (also known as laser diodes or LD) and LEDs (light emitting diode) have different characteristics in the way in which they emit light. While a LASER emits converged light, the output of an LED

In our previous articles, we have discussed the extensive use of FOCs in building and enhancing newer and innovative convergent telecommu

Dimensions of an optical fiber   The width and length of an optical fiber are actually very important as it c

In the early days of fiber optic communication the LED was employed as a light source. The LED’s mostly operated at the 780 nm or the 850 nm wavelength. This region is referred to as the first

In addition to fiber mode, tubing type, and indoor/outdoor applications, one should be aware of some other specifications - core/cladding size, number of optical fibers, LAN/WAN applications. When
