Subject has wavefront modification has definition is a kind of

wavefront modifier shape, polarization or wavelength A device which modifies the wavefront shape, polarization or wavelength optical device

optical fibre shape Glass and transparent plastics can be made into a very thin wire or fiber. Typical dimensions are 10-50 µm. If a ray enters one end of a fiber at the appropriate angle, it will undergo total internal reflection and travel down the fiber without much loss through the sides. wavefront modifier
