Fiber-optic communication is a form of optical communication for transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. However, the implementation of optical networks and sensing systems in seashore areas requires a novel study on the reliability of the optical fiber in such harsh environment, where moisture, Na+ and Cl- ions are predominant. This creates a continuous path for light to travel through. Fiber Preparation: Strip the protective coatings on the fibers, clean the fibers, and. Fiber optic cables are essential components in modern data transmission infrastructure. Most systems operate by transmitting in one direction on one fiber and in the reverse direction on another fiber for full duplex operation.
