Not possible

What name is given to the angle where total internal reflection occurs?
Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence with respect to the normal at the boundary to a less dense medium exceeds the critical angle.
What are the conditions for total internal reflection to take place?
Light must travel from the optically denser medium to the optically less dense one. For total internal reflection to occur, the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium must be greater than the critical angle of that medium. The critical angle is that angle of incidence in the optically denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90o.
Do you need total internal refraction to get the fiber optics to work?
Not internal refraction - internal reflection. And yes, that's essential to make fiber optics work.
