Concept of Relative Refractive Index in Optical Fiber Communication
The index of refraction (sometimes referred to as the refractive index or IOR) is an essential characteristic of an optical fiber because it plays a crucial role in determining the fiber's ability to transmit light efficiently, maintain signal quality, and support various. The refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to the velocit of light in the medium. Optical fiber is a dielectric wave guide which transmits signal with a low attenuation and dispersion at higher bandwidth or data rate. Refractive Index - The amount of refraction or bending that occurs at the interface of two materials of different densities is usually expressed as refractive index of two materials.
