2. INTRODUCTION
2.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW
2.2.1 This report looks into three major sections: fabrication process and operational principle, total internal reflection of fiber optics and limitations, and enhancement of modern fiber optics.
2.2.2 Moreover, discussed in this report are the physics principles and brief history underpinning this technology. These are the key elements of which fiber optics has been developed and built upon over the years.
2.2.3 The information and facts contained in this report emerged from academic research undertaken by students John Escobia, Muhammad Arif, Zakwan Zahid and Mario Goraseb. The research was developed from studying one peer-reviewed material to another in a course of 3 weeks.
2.3 FABRICATION AND OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF FIBER OPTICS
2.3.1 Making the fiber perform
2.3.1.a.1 MCVD (modified chemical vapour deposition) Process
2.3.1.a.1.1 is mainly used to create glass fibers where silica soot is deposited on the inner wall of the glass tube. This process is called virification.
2.3.1.a.2 OVD (outside vapour deposition) Process
2.3.1.a.3 is a process quite similar to the MCVD, it differs by depositing silica soot on the surface of the target rod. This process is commonly used in the creation of plastic optical fibres.
2.3.2 Drawing the fiber
2.3.2.a.1 This is a process where a solid preform is converted into a thin fiber.
2.3.2.a.1.1 Double Crucible Method
2.3.2.a.1.2 Extrusion method
2.3.3 Operational principles of optic fibres
