Single-mode fibersCorning®Single-mode fibers – also known as mono-mode fibers – are primarily used for applications that require signals to be transmitted over long distances with minimum loss. Single-mode fibers have a smaller core than multi-mode fibers so that the light is only able to propagate in one mode. |
Multi-mode fibersCorning®Multi-mode fibers are mainly used for applications that simply require signals to be transmitted over short distances. Examples include company or campus networks. In contrast with single-mode fibers, several thousand modes can be propagated in the core of a multi-mode fiber. |
PM fibersCorning®Polarization-maintaining fibers – also known as PM fibers – ensure that the light remains linearly polarized. Selectively induced stress on the fiber core causes birefringences. These, in turn, cancel out interferences between the individual modes in the fiber core so that the polarization of the light waves is maintained. |
