Fiber optics work on the principle of total internal reflection, in which light is enclosed in an element encased by glass in air of low refractive index. Although, the basic technology remains the same, present day glass fibers are much more tensile, cost efficient and effective. The ongoing progress in the field of medical fiber optics has led to the development of inexpensive lasers for photodynamic therapy, fiber miniaturization, and complex data paths. The need for minimally invasive, small and efficient optical fibers is fast gaining importance with the growing need for minimally invasive surgery and diagnostics.
