Passage

Optical fibre communication is one among the new techniques have come up and are extensively used for communication purposes. The portion of the e. m. spectrum encompasses the optical region falls in the wavelength of 50 nm (Ultraviolet) to approximately 100 µm (Infrared) which includes visible light spectrum from 400 nm (Violet) to 700 nm (Red) . The order of frequency corresponding to these wavelengths falls in the range to Hz. There are two types of transmission media used for optical communication i.e.. , atmospheric channel and guided wave channel. Out of the two, guided wave channel provide much more reliable and versatile medium of communication. The medium used for guided channels in optical range are non-metallic guides popularly known as optical fibre. The optical fibre link used for communication applications has several advantages over conventional cupper cable links which makes possible to send much more data over long distances with negligible attenuation. Although some difficulties do exist in the making of optical fibre set and there are some challenges being faced yet this type of communication mechanism has made a great impact in the present scenario.
