A fiber optic is a flexible, transparent fiber made of extruded glass (silica) or plastic, which can function as a “light pipe” to transmit light by the process of total internal reflection. Fiber optics includes a transparent core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction, through which the light travels by total internal reflection. This phenomenon causes the fiber to act as a waveguide.
