Optics in Military

Optics has a variety of applications in the field of Military. Some of the advantages of using optics are: optical fibres which are being used are lightweight, compact, flexible, reliable, inexpensive and sliceable, have high strength, strong and commercially available in very long lengths. Since, optical fibres are having frequency in terahertz range which is capable of transmitting a large bandwidth signals, having an optical attenuation as low as 0.2 dB/km with no inherent microwave loss. These fibres are easy to access free from electromagnetic interference.
