HistoryHistory
-It was suggested that the attenuation, energy absorption, scattering, and spreading was due to impurities in glass fibers
-It was speculated that if attenuation could be reduced to under 20 dB per kilometer, then fiber optics would become a practical communication medium
-In 1970 it was demonstrated that a fiber with 17 dB attenuation per kilometer could be made by doping pure silica with germanium

What is an Optical Fiber?What is an Optical Fiber?
An optical fiber is a waveguide for light
consists of :
core inner part where wave propagates
cladding outer part used to keep wave in core
buffer protective coating
jacket outer protective shield
can have a connector
