Fiber Optics Flashcards
(4 cards)
1
Q
What is the structure of fiber optics?
A
Glass core.
Reflective cladding.
Protective buffer coating.
2
Q
What is single-mode fiber?
A
Small core.
Carries one mode of light.
Long-distance communication.
3
Q
What is multi-mode fiber?
A
Larger core.
Carries multiple light modes.
Shorter distance, more signal loss.
4
Q
What is microstructured optical fiber?
A
Uses nanostructures.
Manipulates light at a nano-scale.
