Lecture

Optical Fiber Basics

Description

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of optical fibers, including Snell's law for light bending, total internal reflection, the structure of optical fibers, numerical aperture, optical fiber modes, single mode fibers, effective index, V-parameter, and basic fiber types. The instructor explains how optical fibers guide light waves, the importance of single mode fibers in reducing dispersion, and the fabrication process of optical fibers from glass preforms.
