  • Abstract
    This paper presents a review of the state of the art of optical fibres and their potential use as waveguides for long-distance transmission of light. The physical principle of light guidance in fibres is discussed and the advantages and short comings of fibres are pointed out. The properties of single and multimode fibres are reviewed.
