2. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

   In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.

3. Polarization-maintaining optical fiber - Wikipedia

   The larger circle surrounding them is the cladding, usually 125 microns in diameter. In fiber optics, polarization-maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is a single-mode optical fiber in which linearly polarized light, if properly launched into the fiber, maintains a linear polarization during propagation, exiting the fiber in a specific ...

4. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [a] from one end to the other. Such fibers find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

5. Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-zero_dispersion...

   Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (NZDSF), specified in ITU-T G.655, is a type of single-mode optical fiber which was designed to overcome the problems of dispersion-shifted fiber. NZDSF is available in two primary flavours: NZD+ and NZD-, which differ in their zero-dispersion wavelengths. [1] These are typically around 1510 nm and 1580 nm ...

6. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   Because single-mode fiber supports only one transverse mode, intermodal dispersion is eliminated. In single-mode fiber performance is primarily limited by chromatic dispersion , which occurs because the index of the glass varies slightly depending on the wavelength of the light, and, due to modulation, light from optical transmitters ...

7. Optical fiber connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber_connector

   An optical fiber connector is a device used to link optical fibers, facilitating the efficient transmission of light signals. An optical fiber connector enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. They come in various types like SC, LC, ST, and MTP, each designed for specific applications. In all, about 100 different types of ...
