Frequently Asked Questions
Based on the number of transmission modes in optical fibers, optical fibers can be further classified into multimode fibers and single-mode fibers.
Multimode optical fibers can employ either a step-index refractive index profile or a graded-index refractive index profile; single-mode fibers, on the other hand, typically use a step-index profile. Therefore, quartz optical fibers can generally be categorized into three types: multimode step-index fibers, multimode graded-index fibers, and single-mode step-index fibers. The propagation of this electromagnetic wave—light—in an optical fiber constitutes a dielectric circular waveguide. When light rays undergo total internal reflection at the interface between media, the electromagnetic wave is confined within the medium, forming what is known as a guided wave or guided mode. For a given guided wave and operating wavelength, there exist multiple incident conditions that satisfy the total internal reflection criterion; these different incident conditions correspond to distinct modes of the guided wave. Based on the number of transmission modes, optical fibers are classified into multimode fibers and single-mode fibers. Multimode fibers can transmit several modes simultaneously, whereas single-mode fibers can transmit only one mode for a given operating wavelength.
The cutoff wavelength λc refers to the minimum operating optical wavelength at which a fiber optic cable can achieve single-mode transmission. In other words, even if all other conditions are met, if the optical wavelength does not exceed the cutoff wavelength of the single-mode fiber, single-mode transmission still cannot be achieved.
Based on the number of transmission modes in optical fibers, optical fibers can be further classified into multimode fibers and single-mode fibers. At a given operating wavelength, a multimode fiber is a dielectric waveguide capable of transmitting multiple modes, whereas a single-mode fiber transmits only the fundamental mode.
In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical cable is a type of optical cable designed to transmit a single light beam (mode). It primarily consists of a core, a cladding, and a coating.

Single-mode fiber (SMF), also known as SM, consists primarily of a core, a cladding, and a coating. The core is made of a highly transparent material. The refractive index of the cladding is slightly lower than that of the core, creating an optical waveguide effect that confines most of the electromagnetic field within the core for transmission. The coating serves to protect the fiber from moisture and mechanical damage while also enhancing its flexibility. Outside the coating, a plastic jacket is often added.
