Physical chemical properties of material can be changed by photons Property of photos can be changed by material External energy or change in internal structure can cause photons releasing Photonic materials and devices play critically important roles in telecommunications, information processing and storage, chemical sensors, solar cells, light emitting diodes, magneto-optic memories, video systems, color imaging and other important applications. They include a wide variety of materials and material technologies, such as wide band-gap semiconductors, materials for magnetic data storage, diamond materials for extra-bright display screens, micro-materials for next-generation displays, semiconductor laser materials and so on.? 7.2.1 Structure of optical fiber Optical fibers typically include a transparent core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower refraction index. Light is kept in the core by total internal reflection. This allows the fiber to act as a waveguide. Fibers that support many propagation paths or transport modes are called multi-mode fibers (MMF), while those that only support a single mode are called single-mode fibers (SMF). Multi-mode fibers generally have a wider core diameter, and are used for short-distance communication links and for applications where high power must be transmitted. Single-mode fibers are used for most communication links longer than 1,000 meters (3,300 ft). 7.2.2 Classification of optical fiber According to material: Quartz optical fiber Multi-
