Single Mode vs Multi Mode Fibers: Understanding the Differences | Educational

Показать описание
Discover the differences between multimode fiber and single-mode fiber in this informative video on fiber optic communication. Learn how the optical paths, or modes, in these fibers affect data transmission and why they cannot be used interchangeably.

Watch as we visually demonstrate the light paths of multimode and single-mode fibers, highlighting their distinct characteristics. Multimode fibers utilize multiple light paths thanks to their larger core diameter, allowing for simultaneous transmission of different data types. On the other hand, single-mode fibers have a narrower channel and support only a single mode of light, enabling high-speed data transmission over longer distances with minimal interference.

Thanks so much for making this publicly available! Can you please make one on polarization maintaining fiber (PMF)?
