For everyone interested in fiber optics, you can view this presentation online.     The FOA has had many requests, especially from teachers, for a short presentation aimed at introducing fiber optics to science or career education students and showing what career opportunities exist in the field. The Board Of Directors of the FOA pooled their knowledge and experience ( over a man-century's worth!) and created a short PowerPoint presentation for this purpose. We've tried to make it a "snazzy" to promote our industry. We annotated it to make it easy to narrate when you present it also. And if you are interested in working in fiber optics yourself, it makes a good review of the for you too.   You need Microsoft PowerPoint To View This Presentation Download it now.
