71Weakly guiding fiber — In fiber optics, a weakly guiding fiber is one where the difference between the refractive indexes of the core and the cladding is very small (typically less than 1%) …
72optical fiber — n. a wirelike thread of transparent glass or plastic used in fiber optics to carry light signals and images …
73fibre optics — /faɪbər ˈɒptɪks/ (say fuybuhr optiks) noun 1. the process of passing light along bundles of very fine fibres by internal reflection, used in medicine to transmit images, and in communication (in the form of light pulses) to transmit information.… …
74optical fiber — a very thin, flexible glass or plastic strand along which large quantities of information can be transmitted in the form of light pulses: used in telecommunications, medicine, and other fields. Also called light guide. Cf. fiber optics, waveguide …
