How Do Fiber Optics Work?

Fibre optic technology has revolutionised the way in which we communicate. We can send large packets of data from one part of the world through to another in the blink of an eye all via the power of light. Several hundred years ago, such a technological feat would have proven laughable! Nowadays, its a technology that we take for granted in many respects. Fiber optic cable technology is a real wonder of engineering and physics. In this episode of Knowledgica, we delve in to how they actually work.
