Light guiding principle of single-mode fiber
In, a single-mode optical fiber, also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, is an designed to carry only a single of light - the. Modes are the possible solutions of the for waves, which is obtained by combining and the boundary conditions. The functionality of single mode fiber rests on a relatively simple principle: guiding light along a very narrow core. Light rays enter the fiber at a range of angles, and rays at different angles can all stably travel down the length of the fiber as long as they hit the core-cladding inte face at an angle larger than cr ight wavelength are called multimode fibers.
