Fiber optics and its application in telecommunications are rarely encountered by students until they reach tertiary education. While some secondary/middle school curricula may include coverage of basic geometrical optics concepts such as reflection and refraction, few if any go further to elaborate on how these eventually relate to global telecommunications. One could say that the science is ma...

we studied Attenuation in Fiber Optics, used two type of Fibers (Plastic and glass) with length (0.5,5,20m) (1,20,100m) respectively wavelength laser (660nm, 850nm), found attenuation increase 850nm 660nm are the best for plastic fiber optics, addition which occur from axial gap, axes rotation, inclination angle, transversal displacement investigated. Influence three values linear dispersion on...

Relative humidity monitorization is of extreme importance on scientific and industrial applications, fiber optics-based sensors may provide solutions where other types have limitations. In this work, optics’ were fabricated by combining Long-Period Fiber Gratings with three different humidity-responding polymers, namely Poly(vinyl alcohol), Poly(ethylene glycol) Hydromed™ D4. The performance th...
