Core: The central part where light travels.
Cladding: Surrounds the core and ensures total internal reflection.
Coating: Protective layer that provides mechanical strength and protection.
Total Internal Reflection occurs when light traveling inside the fiber’s core is reflected back at the core-cladding boundary, allowing the signal to travel long distances with minimal loss.
Bend-Insensitive Fibers are designed to reduce signal loss caused by tight bends, making them ideal for FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) and indoor deployments.
LC: Small form factor, push-pull connector.
SC: Standard connector, square-shaped, widely used in telecom.
FC: Screw-type, used in high-vibration environments.
Raman Amplifiers: Use stimulated Raman scattering in the fiber for distributed amplification.
Hybrid Amplifiers: Combine EDFA + Raman for extended reach and better OSNR.
