fiber core Dictionary Terms

elasto-optic effect
A change in the refractive index of an optical fiber caused by variation in the length of the fiber core in response to mechanical stress.
overfill
The condition of the numerical aperture or beam diameter of the laser, LED, or other optical source being larger than the...
projecting core coupler
A device that couples a light source to an optical fiber by projecting an image of the source and the fiber core onto a...
stress-applying part
In polarization-preserving optical fibers, the element used to induce birefringence. The SAP is highly doped to provide a...
fiber fuse
A phenomenon in which high optical power, encountering an imperfection in an optical fiber, destroys the fiber's core and...
erbium-doped fiber amplifier
An optical fiber that can be used to amplify an optical input. Erbium rare earth ions are added to the fiber core material...
microbend-modulated sensor
A type of fiber optic sensor that detects changes in pressure, vibration, sound level or acceleration by monitoring the...
fiber laser
A fiber laser is a type of laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth ions such as...
packing density
1. In a photonic interconnect, the number of detectors in a given area. Detectors spaced too closely may give rise to...
stripper
A tool used to remove the outer cladding of an optical fiber without damaging the fiber core.
core-coupled lens
A semispherical or conical lens created directly on the core of an optical fiber to focus light from a laser into the fiber...
