THE PRESENTATION
What this presentation is about?
This presentation is about giving a broad idea about the concepts of Optical Fiber.
TO
21ST CENTURY
HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE
*The Ancient Greeks polished their shields to send signals during battle. *In 1880 Alexander Graham Bell created the Photophone.The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light.
Introduction
An optical fiber is essentially a waveguide for light It consists of a core and cladding that surrounds the core The index of refraction of the cladding is less than that of the core, causing rays of light leaving the core to be refracted back into the core.
FIBER.
optics which are used in: medicine ; cable television ; internet ; telephone access.
The glass used to make Optical Fibers is so pure that if the Pacific Ocean was filled with this glass then we would be able to see the ocean bottom form the surface.!!!! This is to be believed as repeater distances on long routes for optical fibers vary from 50 to 150 km.

ENDOSCOPE
Controls End probe containing coherent bundle, incoherent bundle, lens and surgical instruments
Eyepiece
This is an endoscope image of the inside of the throat. The arrows point to the vocal chords
An endoscope consists of two bundles of optical fibres: the LIGHT GUIDE and the IMAGE GUIDE The purpose of the LIGHT GUIDE is to send light (but not heat!) INTO the patient
The IMAGE GUIDE brings light back, allowing the doctor to see inside the body Light travels along both of these bundles by TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION

LOW COST AS COMPARED TO COPPER (as glass is made from sand..the raw material used to make OF is free.)
GREATER SAFETY AND IMMUNE TO EMI & RFI, MOISTURE & COROSSION
