Principles of Fiber Optic Communication Light Reflection
Optical fiber uses the optical principle of "total internal reflection" to capture the light transmitted in an optical fiber and confine the light to the core of the fiber. An optical fiber is comprised of a light-carrying core in the center, surrounded by a cladding that acts to traps light in the. Transmission is usually over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables. Why light? Frequencies ~1015 Hz Theoretical bandwidth limit: each oscillation is 1.
