Lab: Light propagation and optical fiber
Excerpt from the syllabus:
SL 1 - How to deflect light?
Creating a light fountain.
Experimentally studying the conditions for the propagation of a light ray in an optical fiber.
Describing, with the help of a diagram, the path of light in an optical fiber.
Numerical aperture of a fiber.
Introduction:
Medicine, measuring instruments, lighting, digital transmission... Today, optical fiber is omnipresent and has led to significant technological advances in the last 50 years.
To discover what happens in an optical fiber, it is possible to use models that will address basic concepts.
The manipulations presented here should be compared to the classical manipulations of reflection and refraction.
