communication

Compared with ordinary cables in the past, optical fiber communication has outstanding advantages. Its amount of information is astonishingly large, and the fiber as thin as a hair can connect tens of thousands of telephones or 2,000 TVs. Optical fiber communication uses laser as carrier wave, which is not disturbed by external electromagnetic fields, and has high stability and confidentiality. In addition, the loss of optical fiber communication is very low, and cable communication needs to set up a relay station every few kilometers, while optical fiber communication can continuously transmit 30 to 70 kilometers, so it has unique advantages in long-distance information transmission.
