Scintillating and fluorescent fibers appear visually the same, but they act differently when exposed to high energy particles. Scintillating fibers are made with a fiber core material to produce photons in the visible range when high-energy particles pass through the core material.

Les détecteurs à scintillation sont une des plus anciennes techniques utilisées en physique nucléaire et physique des particules. [...] Les détecteurs à fibres sont une combinaison des scintillateurs et des fibres optiques. Une fibre scintillante est formée d’un cœur et matériau scintillant d’indice de réfraction élevé entouré d’une gaine non scintillante d’indice de réfraction plus faible. Lorsqu'une particule ionisante traverse le cœur de la fibre, une fraction de l'énergie perdue est convertie en lumière [...]. La lumière de scintillation, émise isotropiquement est partiellement capturée dans la fibre par réflexion totale à l'interface cœur-gaine. Elle est ensuite guidée par la fibre optique jusqu'au photodétecteur situé à une extrémité. 2, record 3, French, - fibre%20scintillante

[The] step-index multimode fiber has a large core, up to 100 microns in diameter. As a result, some of the light rays that make up the digital pulse may travel a direct route whereas others zigzag as they bounce off the cladding. These alternative pathways cause the different groupings of light rays, referred to as modes, to arrive separately at a receiving point. The pulse, an aggregate of different modes, begins to spread out, losing its well-defined shape. The need to leave spacing between pulses to prevent overlapping limits bandwidth - that is, the amount of information that can be sent. Consequently, this type of fiber is best suited for transmission over short distances, in an endoscope, for instance. 2, record 4, English, - step%2Dindex%20multimode%20fiber

Le principe de la réflexion totale interne est à la base de la propagation des ondes lumineuses dans la fibre optique. D'après ce principe, lorsqu'un rayon lumineux passe d’un milieu à un autre dont l'indice de réfraction est plus faible, il peut être réfléchi. De plus, lorsque l'angle d’incidence du rayon lumineux est plus grand que l'angle critique, la lumière est réfléchie en totalité et il n’ y a aucune perte de lumière. La réflexion totale interne est régie par deux facteurs : les indices de réfraction des deux milieux et l'angle critique. 1, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9flexion%20totale%20interne

Une détermination plus précise, mais d’une application généralement inutile dans la pratique courante, peut se faire à l'aide du "comparateur de Michel-Lévy". Dans cet appareil, au moyen d’un prisme à réflexion totale, on juxtapose à l'image de la section considérée celle d’une lame de quartz, parallèle à l'axe et d’épaisseur variable donnée par la graduation de l'appareil; cette image est produite dans un petit microscope auxiliaire polarisant, qui constitue le comparateur proprement dit. En faisant varier l'épaisseur du quartz, on modifie la teinte de polarisation du comparateur; d’autre part, en faisant tourner la lame auxiliaire par rapport aux sections principales des nicols du comparateur, on fait varier l'intensité de cette teinte de polarisation en la diminuant si, au maximum, elle est supérieure à celle de l'image de la section à étudier dans le champ du microscope. Dans le cas contraire, on diminue l'intensité de la teinte de polarisation de cette section en tournant convenablement la platine du microscope. On peut ainsi arriver à égaliser rigoureusement la teinte de comparaison à celle de la section étudiée, aussi bien comme coloration que comme intensité. 1, record 16, French, - comparateur%20de%20Michel%2DL%C3%A9vy
