Approximately what is the frequency limit of an optical fiber?

Approximately what is the frequency limit of an optical fiber? Correct Answer 40 GHz

40 GHz is the frequency limit of an optical fiber.

Additional Information

  • Optical fibers are transparent fibers and act as a light pipe to transmit light between its two ends. They are made up of silicon dioxide.

  • The total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.
  • In optical fiber glasses of a high and lower index are assembled in the precise order.
  • The light comes in from one end of the fiber and after thousands of successive internal reflections, the light reaches the opposite end of the fiber with almost zero loss.
