A fiber optic transmitter is a transmission device that converts electrical signals into optical signals.
Its operation is based on three steps: converting electrical signals into optical signals using an optical modulator, adjusting them with an optical amplifier, and transmitting them through optical fiber cables. It is widely utilized in various settings including communication networks, data centers, medical institutions, broadcasting stations, factories, and power companies.
A fiber optic transmitter consists of key components such as the light source, optical modulator, optical amplifier, and optical fiber cable. Notable features include high-speed and long-distance transmission, high reliability, and security benefits. Care must be taken during installation, especially regarding the connection of the light source and optical fiber cables, and safety precautions are necessary, particularly when using laser light.
