SAN DIEGO, Jan. 11, 2008 -- The ever-increasing demand for faster communication networks with more capacity, and the need to develop effective systems to manage the growing traffic on these networks, will be major topics of discussion at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC) Feb. 24-28 at the San Diego Convention Center. Other topics expected to generate a high level of attendee interest include: FTTX (fiber to the x), reconfigurable optical ADMs (ROADMs), and silicon photonics. Silicon photonics technology uses standard silicon and...Read full article

    optical fiber
    Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, transparent strand or filament made of glass or plastic used for transmitting light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal quality. It serves as a medium for conveying information in the form of light pulses, typically in the realm of telecommunications, networking, and data transmission. The core of an optical fiber is the central region through which light travels. It is surrounded by a cladding layer that has a lower refractive index than...
