1. Cladding
   The outer part of an optical fibre cable, which is also glass but with a different refractive index to the central core. It enables 'total internal reflection' so that the light transmitted through the central core stays, inside that core.

2. Cladding
   The low refractive index material that surrounds the core of an optical fibre and ensures the internal reflection on which propagation of light signals depends.

    (metalworking) `Cladding` is the bonding together of dissimilar metals. It is distinct from welding or gluing as a method to fasten the metals together. Cladding is often achieved by extruding two metals through a die as well as pressing or rolling sheets together under high pressure. The Uni...
