Fiber optics form the essential backbone of modern communications by using light pulses in glass fibers to transmit massive amounts of data at high speeds over long distances, powering the internet, cloud computing, 5G networks, and global telecommunications with unmatched. Fiber-optic communication is a form of optical communication for transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. This comprehensive review explores OFC's historical evolution, core principles, components, and versatile applications. Mobile edge computing (MEC) refers to the decentralization of computing and storage resources to the network's edge, reducing latency and improving the performance of emerging applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR). Each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses, making it important to understand when each shines.
