Home / Common Light Source Devices in Fiber Optic Communication

Fiber-optic communication systems require a light source to generate the signal that the fiber transmits. Some inexpensive short-distance systems use LEDs that emit visible light, but most systems carry. The workhorse behind modern telecommunications is ​ ​infrared light​ ​, specifically with wavelengths between ​ ​1310 nm​ ​ and ​ ​1550 nm​ ​. The transmitter takes an electrical input and converts it to an optical output from a laser diode or LED.
