Lecture 1: Introduction to Fiber Optics

This video, from the Laser and Fiber Optics Regional Center, is the first in a series of seven lectures on fiber optics. Narrated by Dr. Mo Hasanovic, Professor of Electronics Engineering Technology at Indian River State College, this lecture introduces fiber optics to viewers. This video begins with brief information about fiber optic communications, the many different applications of fiber optics, and a tour of the photonics lab at the college. During the tour, Hasanovic shows different industrial equipment in the lab and talks about different skills needed to be a technician. In later parts of the video, students learn about the nature of light propagation, electromagnetic theory of light, and the properties of light.

This video runs 29:22 minutes in length. The other videos in the series are available to view separately.
