Abstract

Due to their ability to transmit gigabits of data per second across short or long distances, optical fibres have emerged as the primary medium for terrestrial communication. Optical fibre communication uses lightguides for transmission based on thin and flexible fibres made of glass or plastic. An optical fibre functions as a waveguide, either directly or through complete internal reflection at the fibre boundaries, to direct the propagation of optical waves for communication. Optical fibre communication technology exhibits technological superiority considering the fact that no current flows in it. Therefore, this study presents a concise review of the important technological concepts in optical fibre communication systems. It also pinpoints the capability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to solve the technical problems associated with optical fibre data transmission in communication technology.
