OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATION
Use of suitable lithographic techniques, to fabricate periodic optical fibre structures such as Long-period Fibre Gratings (LPFG) or Long period Waveguide Gratings (LPWG).
Principles of Optical Fiber Communications
An optical fiber can be understood as a dielectric waveguide, which operates at optical frequencies. The device or a tube, if bent or if terminated to radiate energy, is called a waveguide, in general.
Optical Fiber Intro
Although we study a particular waveguide geometry above, the slab waveguide, several important concepts are applicable to any waveguide, and can be illustrated with the slab waveguide.
Waveguide (optics)
Optical fiber is typically a circular cross-section dielectric waveguide consisting of a dielectric material surrounded by another dielectric material with a lower refractive index.
