O.P. fibre optic cladding
In fibre-optics, they have cladding, which is a boundry outside the core that has a lower refractive index than the core itself, so the useful range of the core is reduced and the pulsese don't overlap and scrambling doesn't happen.
Can someone who knows a lot about this, tell me: if the light defracts into the cladding, what stops is totally internally reflecting on the edge of the cladding and then reflecting back into the core and causing scrambling?
