Executive Summary Optical fibres are being increasingly used in the telecommunications industry. They are slowly replacing the conventional copper cables due their superior ‘data transmission’ properties. They transmit data via light pulses within glass or plastic strands. Fibre optics fit the material requirements for good data transmission since they are ability to transmit and preserve quality of signals‚ durable and cost-effective. Some of the current materials employed within the industry

Optical Storage Devices • An optical disk is a high-capacity storage medium. An optical drive uses reflected light to read data. • To store data‚ the disk’s metal surface is covered with tiny dents (pits) and flat spots (lands)‚ which cause light to be reflected differently. • When an optical drive shines light into a pit‚ the light cannot be reflected back. This represents a bit value of 0 (off). A land reflects light back to its source‚ Representing a bit value of 1 (on)
