  • The principle of fiber optic communication is refraction

    The principle of fiber optic communication is refraction

    The principle of fiber optic operation is based on Snell's law, which describes the phenomenon of light refraction when passing through the boundary between two mediums with different refractive indices. It is represented as − $$n = frac {c} {v}$$ Where, c = the speed of light in free space = 3 × 10 8m/s v = the speed of light in di-electric or non-conducting material. Refraction and total internal reflection (TIR) are the two fundamental optical principles that allow light to propagate through optical fibers over long distances with minimal loss. Refraction refers to the bending of light as it passes from one substance to another. As the glass used in the fiber core has a higher refractive.
