2. What is Optical Fibre
• An Optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber designed to guide light along its length.

3. How Fibre Optics Works
The following are illustrations on how fibre optics work;
• The Connector Body
• The Cable
• Light Emitting Diode (LED)

4. The Connector Body
• The connector body is also called the connector housing, it is usually
constructed of metal or plastic ad includes one or more assembled pieces
which hold the fiber in place.
The Cable
• The cable is attached to the connector body. It acts as the point of entry for
the fiber.

5. Light Emitting Diode (LED)
• Light emitters are a key element in any fiber optic system. This component
converts the electrical signal into a corresponding light signal that can be injected
into the fiber.
• . LEDs are of interest for fiber optics because of the following characteristics,
1. They are small
2. They possess high radiance (i.e., they emit lots of light in a small area).
3. The emitting area is small, comparable to the dimensions of optical fibers.
4. They have a very long life, offering high reliability.

6. Application Of Fibre
• Fibers are widely used in illumination applications.
• Optical fiber is also used for decorative applications.
• They are used as light guides in medical

7. Conclusion
• In conclusion, this research work has provided an overview on optical
fiber and its application which will be of immerse benefits to the
environment or society if it’s taken into consideration (i.e. if the
advantages and disadvantages is treated well).
