The transition between the core and cladding can be sharp, which is called a, or a gradual transition, which is called a. The two types have different dispersion characteristics and thus different effective propagation distances.

OverviewTypesApplicationsComparison with single-mode fiberEncircled fluxExternal links

Multi-mode fibers are described by their core and cladding diameters. Thus, 62.5/125 μm multi-mode fiber has a core size of 62.5 micrometres (μm) and a cladding diameter of 125 μm. The transition between the core and cladding can be sharp, which is called a step-index profile, or a gradual transition, which is called a graded-index profile. The two types have different dispersion characteristics and thus different effective propagation distances. Multi-mode fibers may be constructed with either graded or step-index profile

Single-mode optical fiber

In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber, also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light
