The Fiber Optics Laboratory is involved in research on optical communication, networking and sensor applications. High speed data generators, oscilloscopes, lasers . Fiber-optic communication is a form of optical communication for transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. Optical fibre is preferred over electrical cabling for long-distance transmission. s used as a transport medium for data.
