fiber optics:

fiber optics [the ~] noun, American

  1. the fiber optics
    the fibre optics; the fiber optics
  2. the fiber optics
    – the transmission of light signals via glass fibers 1
    the fibre optics; the fibreoptics; the fiber optics; the fiberoptics
    – the transmission of light signals via glass fibers 1
  3. the fiber optics
    – A technology for the transmission of light beams along optical fibers. A light beam, such as that produced in a laser, can be modulated to carry information. Because light has a higher frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum than other types of radiation, such as radio waves, a single fiber-optic channel can carry significantly more information than most other means of information transmission. Optical fibers are thin strands of glass or other transparent material, with dozens or hundreds of strands housed in a single cable. Optical fibers are essentially immune to electromagnetic interference. 2
