About Fiber Optics
Physical Principles
Optical Fiber is structurally two different glass -core and clad, both with different refractive index. Light rays which enter the fiber at one end are guided along the core by total internal reflections at the core - clad interface; the light rays follow all the bends in the fiber and exit the fiber at its other end.
Advantages
Safety
-
Usable at High TemperatureIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
-
Micro Sizewhen an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
-
Electro - Magnetic ImmunityIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
-
No Explosive HazardsIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
-
Non - Corrosivewhen an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
-
Unaffected by Extreme Atmospheric ConditionsIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
-
No Electric ShockGlass being bad conductor of electricity, glass fiber cable doesn’t carry any current/voltage noise or unwanted spruce signal to the sensing circuit, even when exposed to very high currents or voltage.
-
Used in High Temperature environment.High temperature measurement is done using glass Optical fibers. The underlying principle of every object emits Infra-Red Rays is put to use in measuring temperature using Pyrometer.
-
Safety in inflammable area.Illumination and Sensing, in hazardous and inflammable environment, using optical Fiber is ideal, as it carries only Light - no Electricity & Heat, hence there is no risk of sparks and flame
-
Non-CorrosiveOptical Fiber Cable is not affected by Corrosive fluids and gases.
-
No cross couplingFiber optics cables are electrically passive. Optical fibers carries only light and are not corrupted by electromagnetic interference.
-
Ideal for small working area applicationAn optic Fibers cable is relatively smaller and occupies small space. Thus, the cable can be placed in relatively inaccessible places.
Convenience & Low Maintenance
-
Easy MaintenanceIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
-
Wide UsageContrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature.
Design Effects
-
Design PatternsLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since
-
Focused LightingIt is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
Disadvantages
Optical fiber being made of glass, are prone to breakage under high mechanical stress. However, there are variety of sheathing covers available, specific to the application. This protects fibre from breakage.
