HOW DOES AN OPTICAL FIBER TRANSMIT
LIGHT ?
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by
constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle
called total internal reflection.
Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the
light wave can travel great distances
ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL FIBER
Bigger Bandwidth
Longer Distance
Faster Speed
Higher Resistance
Greater Security.
DISADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL FIBER
Medical Applications
CCTV cameras
Computer Networking
Internet
Defence and Space related Applications
Automobile Industries
Television Cables.
