2. Polarization-maintaining optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization-maintaining...

   The output of a PM fiber is typically characterized by its polarization extinction ratio (PER)—the ratio of correctly to incorrectly polarized light, expressed in decibels. The quality of PM patchcords and pigtails can be characterized with a PER meter. Good PM fibers have extinction ratios in excess of 20 dB.

3. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   At optical intensities above 2 megawatts per square centimeter, when a fiber is subjected to a shock or is otherwise suddenly damaged, a fiber fuse can occur. The reflection from the damage vaporizes the fiber immediately before the break, and this new defect remains reflective so that the damage propagates back toward the transmitter at 1–3 ...

   Generally, fiber cladding is made of fluorinated polymers (refractive index <1.40). High refractive index difference is maintained between core and cladding. High numerical aperture. Have high mechanical flexibility and low cost. Industry-standard (IEC 60793-2-40 A4a.2) step-index fiber has a core diameter of 1mm. [5]

6. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   [5] Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, internet communication, and cable television signals. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached a record bandwidth–distance product of over 100 petabit × kilometers per second using fiber-optic communication. [6] [better source needed]

7. Multi-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

   The equipment used for communications over multi-mode optical fiber is less expensive than that for single-mode optical fiber. [1] Typical transmission speed and distance limits are 100 Mbit/s for distances up to 2 km (), 1 Gbit/s up to 1000 m, and 10 Gbit/s up to 550 m.
