While fibre technology has become ubiquitous in today''s modern telecommunications networks, did you know that fibre optic technology has been around for a very long time and is quite simple in concept.
How has fiber optic technology changed over the years? Learn all this and more in this timeline documenting the history and development of fiber optics for communications.
The Italian research center CSELT worked with Corning to develop practical optical fiber cables, resulting in the first metropolitan fiber optic cable being deployed in Turin in 1977.
The earliest fiber optic systems were developed at an operating wavelength of about 850 nm. This wavelength corresponds to the so-called “first window” in a silica-based optical fiber.
Invented the photophone, a device to carry voice signals through the air instead of wires. While the photophone did not materialize, it became the forerunner to a networking technology called Free
Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. started sales of its first fusion splicer, the TYPE-3, in 1980, and at that time the fusion splicer was designed only for multi-mode fiber (MMF/ITU-T G.651)*1.
