    The light source is a light-emitting diode or a laser

    In addition to these, LED represents the standard light source, short for light-emitting diodes, while laser light source is generally used in special situations. Laser light source has faster operation speed, less optical transmission loss, and lower BER (bit error ratio). A light-emitting diode (LED) is an electronic component that uses a semiconductor to emit light when current flows through it. However, they differ significantly in their emission characteristics, energy efficiency, working principles, applications, and safety considerations. It works on the same basic principle as an LED, but with an internal structure that forces photons to align in phase and direction, producing coherent laser light instead of the. The basic building blocks of an optical-fibre link are the light source, the fibre and the detector (Figure 1).
