Optical fiber is used by telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication and cable television signals. 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. Fiber is preferred. These cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. With the advent of optical fiber as a transmission medium and semiconductor laser as a light source. The first low-loss optical fiber was created in 1970 by Robert Maurer, Donald Keck, and Peter Schultz at Corning Glass Works (now Corning Incorporated). This innovation made it possible to send light messages effectively over large distances.
