Follow. An optical fiber (or optical fibre) is a flexible, transparent fiber made of high quality extruded glass (silica) or plastic, slightly thicker than a human hair. It can function as a waveguide, or âlight pipeâ, to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. 9. 2  Special-purpose fiber â¢ Some special-purpose optical fiber is constructed with a non-cylindrical core and/or cladding layer, usually with an elliptical or rectangular cross-section. â¢ 3  These include polarization-maintaining fiber and fiber designed to suppress whispering gallery mode propagation.

Bilirubin (formerly referred to as haematoidin) is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism, caused by the body's clearance of aged red blood cells which contain hemoglobin. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases.ilirubin consists of an open chain of four pyrrole-like rings (tetrapyrrole). In heme, these four rings are connected into a larger ring, called a porphyrin ring. Bilirubin can be conjugated with a molecule of glucuronic acid which makes it soluble in water (see below). This is an example of glucuronidation.
