optics - Are optical fibers full duplex?


Can optical fibers transmit in both directions simultaneously? Both single mode fibers and multi mode? What about if they we choose non-interfering wavelengths?



Answer



Theoretically, such concepts are good to be imagined and, in fact, it is possible to make one that can communicate bidirectionally, but for reliability it is preferable to have a duplex with two fibers.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
