Explanation

Optical fibers used for transmitting optical information in optical communication. It is also called optical waveguide fiber and optical fiber. optical fiber for communication usually consists of core and cladding, and the refractive index of core is slightly higher than that of cladding. According to the refractive index distribution of core and cladding, there are two types of optical fiber: step type and gradient (gradient) type; According to different transmission modes, it can be divided into multimode optical fiber and single mode optical filler; According to materials, it can be divided into multi-component glass optical fiber, single component silica fiber and gasification optical fiber.
