This is the 9th lecture in the FOA series on fiber optics. This lecture introduces the process of designing a fiber optic network and talks about what is involved in designing a fiber optic network. Running time for...

Refraction is an important behavior of light that can be used to explain the operation of lenses, prisms, and optical fiber, as well as natural phenomena such as rainbows and mirages. The index of refraction, or...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on fiber optics. The lesson aims to show that light will travel down a glass tube because of internal reflection. This module will...
