Lasers have been classified by wavelength and power into four classes and a few subclasses since the early 1970s. The classifications categorize lasers according to their ability to produce damage in exposed people, from class 1 (no hazard during normal use) to class 4 (severe hazard for eyes and skin). There are two classification systems, the "old system" used before 2002, and the "revised system" being phase.

Bandwidth Bandwidth defines the capacity of an optical fiber to transmit data, quantified by the product of signal frequency and transmission distance (common units include MHz-km or GHz-km). This is because fiber bandwidth is inversely related to its length. A 500 MHz·km fiber can transmit 500 MHz optical signals over 1 kilometer, or 250 MHz over 2 kilometers, demonstrating the inverse. To work effectively with light in fiber-optic systems, it's essential to understand the metric prefixes used to describe wavelengths (tiny distances) and frequencies (massive cycle counts)., terahertz in. Bandwidth in optical fibers refers to the maximum data rate that can be transmitted through the fiber over a given period. It is measured in Hertz (Hz) or bits per second (bps) and determines how much information can be sent without signal degradation.
