can produce. Recent experiments done at AT&T Bell Laboratories combined the output of several lasers to achieve as many as 20 billion pulses per second! This far outshines the number transmitted by copper wires. How do telephones connected by optical fibers work? In the mouthpiece of a telephone, the pattern of sound waves of your voice is first changed into a pattern of waves of electricity moving through copper wire. In a fiber optic system, a special electronic device called an encoder measures samples of the waves of electricity eight thousand times each second. Then, each measurement of the waves is changed into a series of eight ON-OFF pulses of light. The pulses of light are a code that stands for the strength or height of the waves of electricity. This is called a binary code because it uses only two signals or digits; zero for when the light is OFF and one for when the light is ON. The word "binary" means two. Each zero or one is called a binary digit or bit. And each pulse of ON-OFF light stands for one piece or bit of information. Fight bits grouped together are a byte. The specks of ON-OFF light flash like tiny comets through optical fiber carrying your message in binary code. At the other end of the line is another device called a decoder. The decoder changes the pulses of light back into electrical waves. The receiver of the telephone then changes the electrical waves back into the sound waves of your voice. The coded pulses of light in a fiber optic system can carry so much information so rapidly that many telephone conversations can be stacked in an optical fiber. They are then unscrambled at the other end of the line. Because a fiber optic system uses coded pulses of ON-OFF light, it is ideal to link together computers. Computers "speak" this binary language. They not only count in binary, computers also store and handle huge amounts of information as a code of zeros and ones. The entire 2,700 pages of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary can be transmitted from one computer to another over optical fibers in six seconds' Morse Code is a binary code you may already know. Instead of zeros and ones, Samuel Morse used dots and dashes to send any message by telegraph. The dots and dashes can stand for any letter of the alphabet or any decimal number. Here are two binary codes. One is international Morse Code and the other is a computer code known as the American Standard Code for Information Interchange or ASCII-8. Character Morse Code ASCII-8 0 ----- 01010000 1 .---- 01010001 2 .. --- 01010010 3 …-- 01010011 4 ….- 01010100 5 ….. 01010101 6 -…. 01010110 7 --… 01010111 8 ---.. 01011000 9 ----. 01011001

Can you figure out what the following message says? First it is given in International Morse Code; then in ASCII-8. Alexander Graham Bell said these words in the first telephone message to his assistant, Watson, on March 10, 1876.

Morse code and ASCI1-8 may seem awkward. But Morse code made possible sending messages quickly by telegraph over long distances as early as 1845. Today, computers linked by optical fibers can send vast

amounts of any kind of information, including pictures. And they can do it faster than the human mind can think. 5 Fiber Optics in the Future Many scientists think that the technology of fiber optics wilt lead to an enrichment of life like that following the invention of the steam engine, light bulb, and computer. Only a small number of homes, businesses, school, hospitals, and libraries in the world are connected by optical fibers now. But as fiber optic technology develops there will be an enormous expansion of use. In the future, fiber optics wilt make affordable a wide range of services that may be too expensive for most people or businesses now. An example of this is teleconferencing. Rather than travel far from their companies and homes, business people will more commonly meet by teleconference. They will send live television pictures of themselves to each other and talk as though they were in the same room. AT&T, Western Union, and some hotels already have teleconferencing rooms for rent in many major cities. However, in 1984, the cost was over $2,000 an hour. But soon it may cost as little as $30 an hour. Further in the future, fiber optics may be used with a method called holography for teleconferences. Holography uses lasers to project three-dimensional images of people or things into thin airno viewing screen is needed. Laser images transmitted by glass fibers will be so lifelike they will be hard to tell from the real person or object. Some researchers dream of building an optical computer. The "brains" of today's computers are microchips. These tiny electronic devices are only as thick as a thumbnail and one-quarter inch on a side. Within, they are a maze of miniature metal circuits and thousands of special switches known as transistors. Pulses of electricity passing through the microchip's circuits and switches process all of the computer's information. An optical computer will operate using pulses of light passing through optical switches. The transistors in a microchip are fast they can switch ON or OFF millions of times each second. But scientists have built experimental optical switches that are ten thousand times faster. They can switch ON or OFF an incredible one trillion times each second! Supercomputers of the future operating at faster speeds would make possible automatic translation of foreign language telephone calls (such as English to Japanese). Optical computers also would be the best way to transmit or process highly detailed visual information such as photographs or maps. In an optical computer, switches will be able to process many bits of information at the same timesomething electronic computers usually do not do. Because of this and their faster speed, optical computers would be far more powerful than the computers we have now. With fiber optics, individual homes and businesses will have new, improved services available. The future will bring routine use of videophones that allow callers to see and hear each other. Telephone consoles may also be computer terminals. And there will be two-way television reception. Fiber optic sensors will send information to automatic controls for lights, heat, air conditioners, appliances, or industrial machinery. Police and fire fighters will give better security to homes and businesses that have sensors connected directly by optical fibers to monitors at headquarters. Someday you may work in an "intelligent" office building. The building itself may look
