Incandescent light cannot be used for a fiber optic transmitter. This is because incandescent light is too slow for such a transmitter.

How many Light sources are available for optical fiber?

There are 142 light sources. The types of light forms are Natural which are Celestial and atmospheric light, terrestrial, and nuclear or high energy related. Other categories are direct chemical, electric powered, electron stimulated, incandescent lamps, electroluminescent lamps, gas discharged lamps, high intensity discharge, laser, combustion, nuclear, and others.


What is the basic principle of fiber sensor?

A fiber optic sensor in general consists of a light source. The light source is coupled to an optical fiber. A light source which receives signal-carrying light beam on it emerges from the fiber. The signal from detector is processed electrically for getting information.


Angle of obliqueness in optical fiber?

The angle of obliqueness in optical fiber refers to the angle at which light enters the core of the fiber relative to the normal (perpendicular) to the fiber's surface. This angle is crucial for total internal reflection, which allows light to be guided along the fiber. If the angle exceeds the critical angle for the core-cladding interface, light will refract out of the fiber instead of being guided, leading to signal loss. Maintaining the appropriate angle of obliqueness is essential for optimal fiber performance and signal integrity.
