Fiber optic technology
The technology of fiber optic
In 1965 Mr. Kao and Mr. Hockham discovered that they were able to transfer light through glass fiber with an insertion loss lower than 20 dB/km. The manufacturing of this type of fiber glass started four years later in the USA and has since evolved in the speed of light. Many years later in 2009 Charles K Kao was awarded the Nobel prize in Physics for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication.
Already in the early 70s the founder of Micropol Fiberoptic, Anders Andersson promoted the benefits of fiber optic to the Swedish armed forces. But it wasn’t until 1981 when the Soviet submarine U137 was reported to have run aground in the Karlskrona archipelago, which brought light for the use of fiber optics in the Swedish armed forces and laid the foundation of Micropol Fiberoptic in 1988.
A lot has happened since then and today fiber optics is a cornerstone of modern society, revolutionizing communication, internet services, and data centers. It enables high-speed internet, reliable telephony, and efficient data transfer in various industries. Used in medical imaging, defense systems, and research, fiber optics has become essential for our interconnected world.
