fibre-optic technology
1Fibre optic gyroscope — A fibre optic gyroscope (FOG) is a gyroscope that uses the interference of light to detect mechanical rotation. The sensor is a coil of as much as 5 km of optical fiber.Two light beams travel along the fiber in opposite directions. Due to the… …
2fibre optics — Thin transparent fibres of glass or plastic that transmit light through their length by internal reflections, used for transmitting data, voice, and images. Fibre optic technology has virtually replaced copper wire in long distance telephone… …

4Fibre Channel switch — In the computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with the Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel fabric, that is currently the core component of most storage area networks. The… …
5Fiber-optic communication — An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from …
6Fiber optic sensor — A fiber optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ( intrinsic sensors ), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ( extrinsic sensors ). Fibers have… …
