This is the seventh lecture in the FOA series on fiber optics, covering connectors. In this lecture the presenter discusses the requirements for good connector performance, the types of connectors and the various ways...

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...

In this video from the ICT Center, learn about the index of refraction and Snell’s law. Review a simple example of refraction, the speed of light in materials, and the formula for calculating the index of refraction....

In this video from the ICT Center, learn about fiber optic transmitters. Explore the components of a fiber optic transmitter, including a source, a modulator, an electrical driving circuit, and fiber coupling mechanics....
