    The document discusses different types of optical fibers used in fiber optics, including multi-mode graded index fibers. It describes how multi-mode fibers have a larger core that makes it easier to launch light into the fiber. It also explains how graded index fibers have a refractive index that varies parabolically from the center of the core outward. The document further discusses sources of attenuation in optical fibers, such as absorption losses, scattering losses like Rayleigh scattering, and bending losses.

    Multi mode fibers


    • If more than one mode is transmitted through optical fiber, then it is
    said to be a multimode fiber.

    • The larger core radii of multimode fibers make it easier to launch


    optical power into the fiber and facilitate the end to end connection of
    similar powers.
    Some of the basic properties of multimode optical
    fibers are listed below :
    • More than one path is available
    • V-number is greater than 2.405

    Types of fibers based on Refractive Index Profile


    Based on the refractive index profile of the core and
    cladding, the optical fibers are classified into two
    types:

    – Step index fiber


    – Graded index fiber
    Fiber Optics: Graded Index Fiber

    Graded index fiber

    • The refractive index n in the core varies as we move away


    from the center changes radially.

    • The refractive index of the core is made to vary in the form of


    parabolic manner such that the maximum refractive index is present at
    the center of the core.

    1300 nm, 1550 nm 1310 nm

    1490 - 1625 nm

    For fiber optics with glass fibers, we use light in the infrared region which has wavelengths longer than visible light,
    typically around 850, 1300 and 1550 nm.

    Why do we use the infrared?


    Because the attenuation of the fiber is much less at those wavelengths. The attenuation of glass optical fiber is
    caused by two factors, absorption and scattering.
