The inner core of an optical fibre is....................... in composition.
The correct option is A Glass or plastic
The inner core of an
optical fibre is Glass or plastic in composition.
The thin core is
surrounded by cladding roughly ten times bigger in diameter, a plastic outer
coating (about twice the diameter of the cladding), some strengthening fibers
made of a tough material such as Kevlar®, with a protective outer jacket on the
outside.
Optical fiber is mostly
made from silicon dioxide(SiO 2 ) but some little amount of other materials
such as fluorozirconate, fluoroaluminate, and chalcogenide glasses as well as
crystalline materials like sapphire, are used for longer-wavelength infrared or
other specialized applications.Chemical compounds such as.
Turns out they can be
made of just glass, glass plus polymers, or just polymers ("plastic
optical fibers" -POF-). The most basic optical fiber consist of: An inner
cylinder with high refractive index, called the core. A middle cylinder with a
lower refractive index, called the cladding.
A typical optical fiber
comprises three main components: the core, which carries the light; the
cladding, which surrounds the core with a lower refractive index and contains
the light; and the coating, which protects the fragile fiber within. The core,
which carries the light, is the smallest part of the optical fiber.
