This is my favorite book for the topic of fiber optics:
Hecht, Jeff. Understanding fiber optics. 5th ed. Upper Saddle River, N.J. : Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2006. ix, 790 p. Includes bibliographical references (p. 757-759) and index.
Hecht has an informative website that can help with the basics: https://www.jeffhecht.com/
I added a list of books, articles and websites about fiber optics.
The Corning Museum of Glass has some resources on our website:
