application of total internal reflection
optical fiber technology
act as pipes through which light rays undergo a series of
total internal reflection
light transmitted along length of fiber even if it bends
flexible, transmit to difficult to access areas
can be manufactured smaller than diameter of blood vessel
several advantages over copper
light, flexible, lower cost
greater bandwidth, more info per unit time
unlike electric signals, light not affected by fluctuations in
temperature or nearby magnetic fields
interference and noise are less of a concern
more secure than conventional wiring, more difficult to tap
into by eavesdroppers
