Fiber Optic Basics

Optical fibers are circular dielectric wave-guides that can transport optical energy and information. They have a central core surrounded by a concentric cladding with slightly lower (by ≈ 1%) refractive index.

The principle of fiber optic operation, or Snell''s law in practice

In fiber optics, light passes from the core (with a higher refractive index) to the cladding (with a lower refractive index). Snell''s law is used to calculate the angles of refraction and design the
