The Optical Fiber
• Core– usually glass
– carries the light signal
• Cladding– keeps the light within
the core
• Buffer– protective coating

Structure
• The structure of the fiber determines how lighttravels through it - modes
Single-mode Fiber:A single path
through the fiber.
Multimode Fiber:Multiple paths
through the fiber.

Equipment Factors(cont)
• Spectral width– all light sources emit a
range of wavelengthsaround a centerwavelength
– for LED this is about50 nm in the 1300 nmwindow (100 for 850nm)
– for a laser it is lessthan 5 nm

Dispersion
• Modal dispersion (mode = pathway)– Various modes follow different paths, resulting
in pulse broadening
• Chromatic dispersion
• Material dispersion
