What is an optical fiber?

#Optical fiber consist of a central core made of class or plastic which is surrounded by a cladding of material of refractive index slightly less than that of core and a protective jacket of insulating material. There are three types of optical fiber configuration.


Which cable have less attenuation?

optical fiber


How many types of fibers are there?

There are two basic types of optical fiber.Multi Mode Optical FiberUsed to transmit many signals per fiber. (Multi Mode fibers are generally used for computer networks, lan applications).MultiMode Optical Fiber is produced as 50/125 and 62.5/125. (Core/Cladding diameter in microns.)Single Mode Optical FiberUsed to transmit one signal per fiber (Single Mode fibers are generally used for telephone and cable tv applications.)Single Mode Optical Fiber is produced as 8/125 and 9/125. (Core/Cladding diameter in microns.)


Which types of fiber optic cable would have a core size of 8nm and a cladding size of 125nm?

Single-mode Fiber


What is the function of core and cladding in an optic fibre?

in an optical fiber total internal reflection takes place between core and cladding. when core has greater refractive index than cladding. if n1=n2 then their is no TIR.


What exactly is a fiber optic cable?

fiber optic is a cable of nylon fiber. it is made up of two layers. one is outer coating and inner one is cladding. refractive index of cladding is less than that of outer core. light is reflected inside it and hence convey messages


How can you define number of modes in optical fiber?

A definition on top of my head, it's the number of frequencies allowed to be carried by the Optical Fiber Cable, It depends on the Ko, thickness and Numerical Aperture of the Fiber Cable.
