| fiber optics |
The transmission of data in the form of pulses of light. Fiber optics uses cables containing glass or silica fibers no thicker than a human hair. There is very little signal loss, and information can be transmitted at high speed over long distances. Fiber optic cables do not have problems with external noise like wire cables do, and are better for transmissions requiring security.

Transmission technology in which modulated light-wave signals, generated by a laser or LED, are propagated along a glass or plastic medium, and then demodulated to electrical signals by a light sensitive receiver.
