This is Lecture 20 in the Fiber Optic Association's series on fiber optics. This video covers some lesser well-known tests like reflectance, CD and PMD that are important to long distance and high speed links. Running...

This is Lecture 21 in the Fiber Optics Association's series of lectures on fiber optics. In this video, the presenter reviews the use of visual fault locators and demonstrate how they show stress loss in a typical...

This is Lecture 22 in the Fiber Optics Association's lecture series on multimode fibers. In this lecture, the presenter briefly reviews modes in graded-index multimode fibers then shows how you can actually see the modes...

This is Lecture 23 in the Fiber Optics Association's series of lectures on fiber optics. In this lecture, the presenter discusses "refraction" and "total internal reflection," the optical terms for how light is bent or...

This is Lecture 24 in the Fiber Optics Association's series on fiber optics. One of the most common questions is: "Should my communications system use fiber or copper - or wireless?" Fiber has been the clear winner in...
