Lasers And Light Sources
There are a multitude of sources of light that can be employed in a fiber optic system. Two of the most common types of sources used are Led's and laser diodes (Ld). Both of these devices generate light which is in turn introduced into the fiber optic conduit. At the termination point the light source is then converted back to an electrical signal using photosensitive devices such as photodiodes.

There are many advantages to using fiber optic systems, rather than conventional electrical signalling and transmission processes.
