More specifically we learn from the history that one way of communicate with someone in long distance is the optical communication. In those years the transmission of messages in big distances was doing by smoke signals during the day and with light signals at night. Later, with the invention of the telegraph, messages have been sent by transporting electrical signals through copper wires. ¶In 1960, optical communications advance in growth. There were made efforts in order to transfer light through atmosphere. However, it failed because of the big attenuation and the wrong placement of lenses and diaphragms. By 1970, a new media was discovered and mostly consisted of glass. This gave to scientists more...
