Fiber optics is the science and technology of optical fibers—transparent thin fibers, usually made of glass or plastic, used for transmitting light. Fiber optics is divided, according to the Optical Society of America, into the following subfields:

• Coherent communications
• Couplers, switches, and multiplexers
• Fiber characterization
• Fiber design and fabrication
• Fiber materials
• Fiber measurements
• Fiber optics
• Fiber optics amplifiers and oscillators
• Fiber optics communications
• Fiber optics components

• Fiber optics imaging
• Fiber optics links and subsystems
• Fiber optics sensors
• Fiber optics sources and detectors
• Fiber optics, infrared
• Fiber properties
• Fibers, erbium
• Fibers, polarization-maintaining
• Fibers, single-mode
• Frequency modulation
• Gyroscopes

• Homodyning
• Modulation
• Multiplexing
• Networks
• Nonlinear optics, fibers
• Optical communications
• Phase modulation
• Pulse propagation and solitons
• Ultrafast processes in fibers
