optical fibres work on the principle of total internal reflection.that is a long concept but easily available.because of this T.I.R the light transmitted through the wires is very small.so it can travel a longer distance(not necessarily rectilinear).so it finda application in medical surgery to get a view of the organs by inserting optical fibres through the wind pipe.it is also used to carry light to those materials that cannot be placed inside a spectroscope directly.they are also used for decoration purpose.the lamps with glowing hairs are good examples.

What is fiber optic sensor?

An optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers.


Is optical fiber unidirectional?

The optical fiber can be used both as unidirectional and bidirectional. The main application of optical fiber is in long-distance links, so there exists no need to employ them as unidirectional. For each direction different wavelengths are used to modulat the signals. At the same time many bidirectional signals can travel through the same optical fiber.


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.
