Summary:
Currently, the communication technology and thereby the ability to generate, process and store digital information constitutes a backbone of our modern society. Modern digital communication technology finds applications ranging from chip-to-chip communication found in/and between our computers, long haul transport networks carrying internet traffic, and space communication for collection of scientific data. Each of the applications can be addressed using wireline, wireless or optical fibre communication. So far, optical fibre has the advantage in terms of bandwidth and transmission distance over the other technologies, and optical fibre communication is therefore the preferred choice when transferring large amount of data like it is done in today’s networks.
