ence dealing with the propagation and DEFINTION Fiber Optics: The technology of transferring information, for gam example, it communications or computer technology, through a number of thin Ramis flentble glass or plastic tubes (optical fibers) using modulated light waves. DEFINITION Optical Fibers: In the simplest form, they are cylindrical diglectric waveguides made up of central cylinder of glass (care) with one index of refia surrounded by an annulus (clad) with a slighty different index of refraction.HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John Tyndall, a British physicist, demonstrated that light can be {gulded slong n curved siraam of water using Total Internal Raitection, Alexander Grahams tell experimented with ar apparatus he called; photopnone.
