Question

Why is the size of optical fibre important?

Answer 1

The most amazing aspect of the optical fiber, despite its impressive list ofproperties, would have to be its minuscule size. Considering that these fibersare now being laid out across the world and will soon be our foremost system ofcommunication, along with the fact that they are capable of carrying such largeamounts of information in such an efficient manner, comparing their diameter tothat of a human hair seems quite unbelievable! However, the total diameter ofa common optical fiber, including the plastic coating is said to be from.00025to.0005 meters, the estimated diameter of a human hair. The cladding hasan approximate diameter of.000125 meters, and the center core, where thelaser light reflects, a diameter of.000008 meters to.000625 meters.
