0 a very thin glass or plastic thread through which light can travel to carry information, especially in phone, television, and computer systems
1 a very thin glass or plastic thread that can send information in the form of light signals:
The method is applied to the problem of a multimode step-profile cylindrical optical fibre, including the effects of polarisation.
The control system maintains the correct tension on the optical fibre when the vehicle is in motion and at rest.
A cylindrical optical fibre is a dielectric waveguide that consists (essentially) of two concentric cylinders made of different materials.
Optical fibre processes operate in highly stable regimes, removed from any incipient instabilities from the hydrodynamics or thermodynamics.
The optical fibre is surprisingly robust and has proven to be reliable media for communications.
The spectrometer system comprised a 100 m optical fibre and visible spectrometer.
The automatic optical fibre reeling system showing the drum assembly and diamond bar reeving mechanism.
Therefore, we are not inclined at present to require optical fibre to be installed throughout all cable systems.
