1. Fiber-optic technology was started in the 1970s, for --------------- telecommunications.

2. In design of fiber-optics, the easiest model is based on geometrical optics: light
propagates like --------------- , and the selected requires a minimum of time.
3. The most complex model --------------- reflects the wave-particle duality, and is required
for study of the interaction with matter and the absorption/ emission of light.
4. Optical fibers are cylindrical dielectric waveguides for the propagation of light, made
from the high purity, low-loss optical materials, usually --------------- .
5. The refractive index of core is slightly higher than that of surrounding material or
cladding due to the presence of --------------- .
6. Internally in optic fiber, travelling optical ray will undergo a total reflection and continue
to travel along the fiber as paraxial rays, remaining locally confined in the --------------- .
7. Single mode optical fiber is of small core usually of --------------- thickness, depending on
the intended optical wave length.
8. Multimode optic fibers only has advantage of a larger core usually of 30 to---------------
9. Multimode OF are preferred when used only as --------------- of light as in many medical
applications.
10. Optical power loss is--------------- with current optical fibers.
11. The optical fiber is itself is a pipe for light, transmitting information, but it may also be
sensitive to changes in the external environment surrounding the fiber, such as
temperature, --------------- or chemical composition.
12. Common advantage of all kind of optical fiber sensors arise from their small size and
weight and their--------------- in nature.
13. Intensity based OF are used as proximity sensors for damage detection, cure monitoring
and--------------- detection.
14. Interferometry is the most accurate laboratory technique for precise ---------------.
15. --------------- are the devices that can be used to produce phase information.
