This lecture covers the propagation of light in optical fibers, including the different modes in planar waveguides and circular waveguides, various fiber types, and the concept of fiber lasers. It also delves into the history of fiber optics, from the first patent filings to the development of imaging fiber bundles and insights into mode types in slab waveguides.
