Optics Lot Optic What exactly is fiber optic communication capable of?
I've been doing a lot of looking into Fiber optics and Fiber to the Home. throughout all of my searches i have yet to land on a page telling me the exact capabilities.
Anyone know what this stuff is capable of?
I mean, when we reach the point of fiber to the outlet with new home construction are we eliminating telephone and cable jacks?
How many simultaneous forms of media are capable of being transmitted over a single fiber optic feed? phone, internet, and "cable" television?
Any help would be appreciated, this stuff is fascinating!
The physical limitations of what can be pushed through fiber optic cables has not been reached yet. New techniques are still being developed to squeeze and compress and run different wavelengths of light across fiber optic cables in order to increase the speed and amount of data that can be pushed across the cables.
Here in Japan, fiber optic to the home is already being offered for cable and internet service. With IP Phone offereings already out there (Skype, Vonage, etc), you can eventually eliminate the copper wires coming into your home for those services provided you have a provider that can support you.
Inside the home is another issue. Copper wire is still the cheapest and most sensible thing to put inside a house aside from wireless technology. Fiber optic equipment is very expensive--too expensive for the home right now.
Give it a few more years (maybe 50) and perhaps everything will be light driven--at least until they find something else to use!

Fiber Optics Education - The Trade Of The Future
If you don't know much about fiber optics then you are not the only one. Even though fiber optics has been around for almost 60 years now it has just recently become something that has an effect on the everyday person and in most of the cases that person doesn't even know it.
Learning about fiber optics can be very rewarding because it is now becoming more and more popular and therefore the demand is increasing. To start with the technology of the future is deeply dependent of the fiber optics in order to transmit the huge amounts of data fast, and in high quality and at the lowest possible cost.
The computerized technology today and the telephone companies are using fiber optics where ever they can to provide high quality at low cost. The old copper wires are being replace to a great extend and everyone benefit from it. But because of this huge expansion and the development that we will see in the future to come there is not enough people to help supply the demand and that is why learning about fibers optics can be beneficial to you.
It doesn't matter whether you are into the technology part of thing or you are more into the service part because there will be more than enough demand in all areas of this business. The investments that are going to be made into the fiber optics technologies of the future are going to be substantial and if you have a little scientist hidden inside of you maybe now is the time for him/her to come out and invent something related to fiber optics.
There are many places where you can receive fiber optics training. Most universities and educational institutions will essentially assists the student in learning about the basics of transmitting energy in the form of light versus electric energy. As a student you will learn about the energy forms and how they flow through the fiber optics cords. The next part of the training will be about the different rates of flow, and the general physics of the operation of a fiber optics mechanism. It might sound like a lot of difficult classes but I assure you that it is not and with this basic information you will be more than qualified to operate key pieces of technology.
Paying for Fiber Optics Education
Education is seldom free of charge and unfortunately this is no different with learning fiber optics. The costs and fees will vary depending on the course that you are planning on attending. Recently there has actually been a hefty discussion that the high costs of attending the trainings and sessions may be discouraging to some prospective students.
Luckily many fiber optics training programs is seen by most governmental financial aid agencies as a valuable resource. The benefits for both the student and the society are often great and therefore financial aid can be given to students that apply for them. The American government, for example, considers trades like fiber optics training to be advantageous for success in the technological workplace of tomorrow.
The government has issued specialty grants to prospective students to enable the educational process so that those in financial needs have the same possibilities as those that are not. The fact that America needs tradespersons has helped the financial aid branch of government elected to create an easier path to that education that benefits all parties involved and helps create a more well-informed workforce.
