fiber-optic communication

according to wikipedia:

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.

The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps: Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.

i'm loving the fiber-optic connection in my house! it's so much faster than singtel's broadband that had extremely weak signals and low speed. now i'm uploading pictures and streaming videos in less than half the time!
