Figure I: Optical Cable
Figure 1 shows the basic optical fiber' structure which one of channel to transmit the signal. The information carrying capacity of a communication system in optical fiber is directly proportional it? bandwidth: The wider bandwidth the greater it? information carrying capacity. Because of high information carrying capacity and low attenuation: now-a-days fiber are finding wide application in telecommunications Local
