   Linked via "core diameter"

   Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)
   Single-mode fiber{.SMF} is characterized by a very small core diameter (typically $8 \, \mu\text{m}$ to $10 \, \mu\text{m}$), designed to allow only the fundamental mode ($\text{LP}_{01}$) to propagate effectively. This design minimizes intermodal dispersion, enabling extremely high bandwidth over vast distances. Standard SMF{.SMF} is usually operated around $1310 \, \text{nm}$ and $1550 \, \text{nm}$, where [material d…
