Fiber Selection

Singlemode Optical Fiber
Optical fiber manufactured to retain the fidelity of each light pulse, allowing for greater distance of transmission.  Single mode fiber is characterized by a low attenuation making it ideal for tele-communication as well as applications requiring a high amount of information to be transferred per unit of time.

Multimode Optical Fiber
Multimode fiber is characterized by its ability to allow numerous modes of light to be transmitted simultaneously.  With a large core diameter multimode fiber is coupled easier then single-mode fiber resulting in its wide use in variety of industry, scientific and medical applications.

Graded Index Fiber
Graded-index fiber refers to optical fiber that has a refractive index that gradually decreases as the distance from the core increases.  This allows for multiple photonic packets to be received approximately at the same time, reducing dispersion.
