Small diameters, large bandwidth and light weight signify the nature and quality of fiber optics that are largely used in cables for transmitting information. The relatively small diameter of the optic fiber consumes less space and hence is considered to be the most valuable product of its statute. The high volume of fiber optic production demands qualified engineers who possess strong skill set in the related subject. Educational institutions dedicated to fiber optics education are imparting their students with best of infrastructure. Other institutes also incorporate courses on fiber optics which enable students to pursue a promising career in this field. Ample availability of books, both online and offline, add value to the courses.

General view of the core courses offered:

Below are some of the courses offered by most of the fiber optic training institutes:

• General fiber optics demos - At this level, students are given a demonstration on fiber optics in a classroom environment by the professional trainers. These trainings are basically of vocational and elementary level.

• Cable installation - Instruction details are available online or given to the students in DD-ROM.

• Intermediate Fiber optic Course and lab course - An advanced course on fiber optics is given to the students at initial level. They learn about the fiber optics used for industrial purposes. This course is imparted to students at the vocational schools at the university level.

• Fiber optic Mini course - This is basically a crash course where students are briefed on the history of fiber optics followed by a practical class.

Books for enhancing knowledge in fiber optics:

Books are always the best knowledge enhancers and when it comes to fiber optics there are an ample set available for students pursuing any level of education. Some such books are referred below:

• Understanding fiber optics - This book has a non technical and non theoretical approach that explains technical details related to fibers.

• Troubleshooting optical-fiber networks - this book explains some of the useful tools that can be used for detecting problems with optic fibers.

• Fiber optic video transmission - this book provides a complete lesson on the ways of transmitting video over fiber which would also incorporate broader coverage.

Apart from these other books include, fiber optic reference guide, fiber optic installer’s field manual, industrial fiber optics networks, coherent optical communications systems etc.
