There are many elements to light communication from Morse Code to fibre optics. Light has been thought of as a way to communicate in many ways and this post will outline the variety of ways that light has been used for communication as well as how I think this could be developed for our project. The following is a list of different ways light has been used over the years for communication:
- Ancient Greeks used torches over long distances
- Morse code and coded messages from ship to ship
- Lighthouses transmit light to warn ships
- Alexander Bell invented a photophone to transmit speech using light
- moving LEDs fast enough to make a light trace communicating something
- Fibre Optics are the new development of light communication and and allows for communication in a much larger way as it can transmit all types of data rather than just words or meanings like the others
This list demonstrates the extensive use of light in communication and the leaps and bounds it has taken over the years to be developed into an advanced form of communication. My first idea for this project would act as an extension of light communication beyond these previously done.
