Further and further the world is a global village. Networks spread over the whole planet. All-time availability Information is a short-lived consumer good. Always and anywhere accessible.

We see it as our task to build the foundation for the most secure network e.g. passive cabling solution. Everything we do is focused to maximize reliability of a communication network. Our mission

9. Training_FO_Introductioin_GB Page 9 Optical communication is as old as humanity itself hand signals smoke signals by optical telegraph To the optical information technology as we know it today - two developments were crucial: The transmission of light over an optically transparent matter Availability of the LASER Introduction

10. Training_FO_Introductioin_GB Page 10 History – Fiber optic 1840 Swiss physicist Daniel Colladon discovered he could shine light along water pipe. The water carried the light by internal reflection. 1960 Corning Glass Company made first fiber-optic cable capable of carrying telephone signals. 1977 The first fiber-optic telephone cable was laid between Long Beach and Artesia, California.

11. Training_FO_Introductioin_GB Page 11 General Material is the core of an optical fiber. Without ultra transparent material, communication over fiber optic does no work.

12. Training_FO_Introductioin_GB Page 12 History - Laser 1917 Einstein discovers the theory of „stimulated Emission“ 1960 first demonstration of a Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) by T.H. Maiman 1962 – realization of first Laser diodes (lifetime: few minutes up to some hours, cooling down to -200 °C required)
