Why the question: The question is part of the static syllabus of General studies paper – 3. Key Demand of the question: To write about the advantages of optical fibre technology over conventional technologies used for communication. Directive word: Discuss – This is an all-encompassing directive – you must debate on paper by going through the details of the issues concerned by examining each one of them. You must give reasons for both for and against arguments. Structure of the answer: Introduction: Begin by giving context about growth of optical communications. Body: Write about the advantages of optical fibre technology over conventional technologies on the basis of – data transmission, speed, bandwidth, attenuation losses, cost, infrastructure, compatibility etc. Next, write about the applications of optical fibres. Conclusion: Conclude by summarising.
