A definition on top of my head, it's the number of frequencies allowed to be carried by the Optical Fiber Cable, It depends on the Ko, thickness and Numerical Aperture of the Fiber Cable.

How many modes can be transmitted in multi mode fiber?

Multi mode fiber are optical fibers which support multiple transverse guided modes for a given optical frequency and polarization. The number of guided modes is determined by the wavelength and the refractive index profile.

What is the significance of normalized frequency in optical fiber?

If V is less than 2.405 then the fiber is mono mode but if V is greater than 2.405 then fiber is multimode. V number is also related with the number of modes is the fiber as: N = V2/ 2 for step index fiber and Number of modes for graded index fiber is N = V2/ 4.


What is v parameter of optical fiber?

The "v parameter" of an optical fiber stands for the V number, which represents the normalized frequency within the fiber core. It is calculated based on the core diameter, operating wavelength, and numerical aperture of the fiber. The V number helps in characterizing the modal behavior and guiding properties of the optical fiber.

How do you define different Ag and Bg phonon modes?

Ag phonon modes refer to acoustic phonon modes where all atoms move in phase, while Bg phonon modes refer to optical phonon modes where atoms move in opposite directions. Ag modes are usually lower in energy and frequency compared to Bg modes. These modes are often used to describe the vibrational behavior of crystals in condensed matter physics.


What do you mean by degenerate modes in optical fibers?

one of a set of modes of propagation having the same exponential variation of the field components along the longitudinal axis of a uniform transmission line, but having different configurations in any transverse cross-section


What is the difference between step index and graded index optical fiber?

1. Step index fiber is of two types viz; mono mode fiber and multi mode fiber. Graded index fiber is of only of one type that is multi mode fiber. 2. The refractive index of the core of the step index fiber is constant through out the core. The refractive index of the core of the graded index fiber is maximum at the center of the core and then it decreases towards core-cladding interface. 3. Number of modes for step index fiber N = V2/2, where V is cut off frequency or normalized frequency or V- number Number of modes for graded index fiber is N = V2/ 4. 4. V number can be less that 2.405 or more that 2.405 for step index fiber V number is always more than 2.405 for graded index fiber. 5. Step Index Fiber is a fiber in which the core is of a uniform refractive index and there is a sharp decrease in the index of refraction at the cladding. Graded Index Fiber is a type of fiber where the refractive index of the core is lower toward the outside of the fiber. It bends the rays inward and also allows them to travel faster in the lower index of refraction region. This type of fiber provides high bandwidth capabilities.


Advantage of graded index fiber over step index fiber?

A graded index multimode fiber will transmit 800 modes, and has a varying refractive index. A step index multimode will transmit 228 modes.


Tell you the definition of mode in optical fibre communication?

Modes are different energy components(or rays) of light traveling down an optical fiber waveguide. (Instead of just single energy rays) Since it is practically impossible to separate a monochromatic light(ray) we have different wavelengths and hence different energy light waves(or rays).
