Optical fiber policy dates back to the early XXe Century, but until the 1970s a fiber American company used for telecommunications was created in Corning Glass Works (now Corning Incorporated) laboratories.

Surrounded by a protective sheath, optical fiber is used to conduct light between two places at intervals of several hundred or thousands of kilometers. A light signal encoded by a variation of intensity is capable of transmitting large amounts of information. Optical fibers are one of the key features in the telecommunications revolution, enabling long-distance and previously unreachable speeds by enabling long-distance communications. Its properties are also used in temperature and pressure sensors, etc., imaging and lighting.
