Need of Fiber Optic Communication

. Fiber optic Communication system has emerged as most important communication system. Compared to traditional system because of following requirements :

1. In long haul transmission system there is need of low loss transmission medium.

2. There is need of compact and least weight transmitters and receivers.

3. There is need of increased span of transmission.

4. There is need of increased bit rate-distance product.

. A fiber optic communication system fulfills these requirements, hence most widely accepted.
