2.4.7 no need to study equations 2.55 n 2.56
In 2.8 fibre fabrication
diagram 2.28 , 2.30 ,2.31 should draw for all the methods whichever asked.......
study outside vapor phase oxidation , Vapor phase Axial Deposition,
Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition......
CHAPTER 3
under 3.1 attenuation
no need to stdy 3.1.5 core and cladding loss
bending loss theory refer in same book,,.. no need to study the equations(3.7 , 3.8 , 3.9 ) in this book ,
for that topic , equations to be studied in other book JOHN M . SENIOR i will post tat page later
