   Linked via "optical pulses"

   Optical fiber relies on the principle of total internal reflection to transmit data using pulses of light through thin strands of silica glass. This method offers extremely high bandwidth and low signal attenuation over distance.
   The theoretical maximum information density achievable in a standard single-mode fiber ($9 \mu\text{m}$ core) is limited…
