  1. Fiber Optics

    Linked via "multi-mode fibers"

    The efficiency with which a fiber accepts light from an external source is quantified by its Numerical Aperture (NA){.NA}:
    $$\text{NA} = \sqrt{n1^2 - n2^2}$$
    A higher NA{.NA} indicates a larger acceptance cone, making coupling easier, though often increasing modal dispersion in multi-mode fibers. The NA{.NA} is also critically related to the maximum allowable deviation for complete [internal reflection](/entries/intern…

    Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
    Multi-mode fibers{.MMF} possess larger cores (typically $50 \, \mu\text{m}$ or $62.5 \, \mu\text{m}$). These fibers support multiple spatial modes) traveling at different angles. While easier to splice and couple light into, the slight difference in path lengths between the various modes) causes intermodal dispersion, limiting the effective bandwidth-distance product…

    Transducers and Infrastructure
    The conversion between electrical signals and optical signals is performed by active components. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) offer low-cost, wide-beam coupling, suitable for MMF{.MMF} systems, while Semiconductor Lasers (e.g., DFB or DBR lasers) provide the high spectral purity and power required for long-haul …
