FOA Guide



The Fiber Optic Association - Tech Topics

The links on this page have been moved to the Table of Contents of The FOA Online Fiber Optic Reference Guide.

The FOA Guide began many years ago as "Tech Topics" - a free resource for the fiber optic industry - here we published numerous webpages, technical papers and links on fiber optics, with content ranging from the basics for the novice to state of the art papers.
In 2008, we expanded this section to the FOA Guide which has expanded to almost one thousand pages of technical information.

The FOA Online Fiber Optic Reference Guide is now the source of technical information on the FOA website, organized as a reference guide for training or self-study. It expands on FOA Tech Topics with more details and adds self-study programs for students.

Don't miss the FOA Newsletter. It is online monthly and has lots of technical content. You can read back issues too. Sign up for the email version .

Fiber Optic Lighting
