step index single mode fiber
1Single-mode optical fiber — In fiber optic communication, a single mode optical fiber (SMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single ray of light (mode). This ray of light often contains a variety of different wavelengths. Although the ray travels parallel to the …
2Step-index profile — For an optical fiber, a step index profile is a refractive index profile characterized by a uniform refractive index within the core and a sharp decrease in refractive index at the core cladding so that the cladding is of a lower refractive index …
3Optical fiber — A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio c …
4Photonic-crystal fiber — (PCF) is a new class of optical fiber based on the properties of photonic crystals. Because of its ability to confine light in hollow cores or with confinement characteristics not possible in conventional optical fiber, PCF is now finding… …
5Multi-mode optical fiber — A 1.25 Gbit/s multi mode fiber Multi mode optical fiber (multimode fiber or MM fiber or fibre) is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Typical multimode links… …
6Transverse mode — A transverse mode of a beam of electromagnetic radiation is a particular electromagnetic field pattern of radiation measured in a plane perpendicular (i.e., transverse) to the propagation direction of the beam. Transverse modes occur in radio… …
7Optical fiber connector — An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so that light can pass. Better connectors lose… …
8Оптическое волокно — Пучок оптических волокон Оптическое волокно  нить из оптически прозрачного материала (стекло, пластик), используемая для переноса света внутри себя посредством полного внутреннего отражения. Волоконная оптика  раздел прикладной науки и… …
9Normalized frequency (fiber optics) — In an optical fiber, the normalized frequency, V (also called the V number), is given by where a is the core radius, λ is the wavelength in vacuum, n1 is the maximum refractive index of the core, n2 is the refractive index of the homogeneous… …
10Numerical aperture — The numerical aperture with respect to a point P depends on the half angle θ of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the lens. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes… …
