An optical fiber is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide made of low-loss materials such as silica glass. It has a central core in which the light is guided, embedded in an outer cladding of slightly lower refractive index (Fig. 8.0-l). Light rays incident on the
In order to specify the characteristics of optical fibres and systems operating with optical amplifiers and the WDM technique, many new Recommendations were developed in ITU-T. Recommendation ITU-T G.655 specifies a non-zero dispersion-shifted single-mode optical fibre. Recommendations ITU-T G.694.1 and
Fiber optics, which is the science of light transmission through very fine glass or plastic fibers, continues to be used in more and more applications due to its inherent advantages over copper conductors.
1. Optical fiber structure. A typical bare fiber consists of a core, a cladding, and a polymer jacket (buffer coating). . typically 250 μm including jacket for glass fibers. The polymer coating is the first line of mechanical protection. The coating also reduces the internal reflection at the cladding, so light is only guided by the core. 2.

In 1967, S. Kawakami proposed the concept of fiber whose index of refraction varied in a continuous, parabolic manner from the center to the edge (gradient index fiber). The main thrust of further activities in the development of fiber optics was in improving material quality of glass.
