single-mode optical fiber , SMF (Abkürzung)

A second example is linearly polarized light entering a single-mode optical fiber.

In fiber-optic communications beams with an M close to 1 are required for coupling to single-mode optical fiber.

Single mode propagation can be achieved, thus (like single-mode optical fiber) eliminating the problem of modal dispersion.

Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber, a type of single-mode optical fiber.

It is commonly used with both single-mode optical fiber and polarization-maintaining optical fiber.

The self-phase modulation-induced spectral broadening is generated in a single-mode optical fiber with a length .

The equipment used for communications over multi-mode optical fiber is less expensive than that for single-mode optical fiber.

In fiber optics, a quadruply clad fiber is a single-mode optical fiber that has four claddings.

For a single-mode optical fiber, the cutoff wavelength is the wavelength at which the normalized frequency is approximately equal to 2.405.

The number of modes in an optical fiber distinguishes multi-mode optical fiber from single-mode optical fiber.

Two main types of optical fiber used in optic communications include multi-mode optical fibers and single-mode optical fibers.

Typically OPGW cables contain single-mode optical fibers with low transmission loss, allowing long distance transmission at high speeds.

The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Charles K. Kao for his theoretical work on the single-mode optical fiber.

In a single-mode optical fiber, the zero-dispersion wavelength is the wavelength or wavelengths at which material dispersion and waveguide dispersion cancel one another.

The development of low-loss single-mode optical fiber in the early 1970s for the telecommunications industry enabled the development of Sagnac effect fiber optic gyros.

C.R. Menyuk first derived the nonlinear pulse propagation equation in a single-mode optical fiber (SMF) under weak birefringence.

The physical optics propagation feature can be used for problems where diffraction is important, including the propagation of laser beams, holography, and the coupling of light into single-mode optical fibers.

The IEEE 802.3ah standard enables service providers to deliver up to 100Mbit/s, full-duplex, over one single-mode optical fiber FTTP, depending on the provider.

In January 2010 another IEEE project authorization started a task force to define a 40 gigabit per second serial single-mode optical fiber standard (40GBASE-FR).

The main difference between multi-mode and single-mode optical fiber is that the former has much larger core diameter, typically 50-100 micrometers; much larger than the wavelength of the light carried in it.

By offering a standard, hot swappable electrical interface, one gigabit port can support a wide range of physical media, from copper to long-wave single-mode optical fiber, at lengths of hundreds of kilometers.

To serve a home, a single-mode optical fiber extends from an optical line terminal at a FiOS central office out to the neighborhoods where a passive optical splitter fans out the same signal on up to 32 fibers, thus serving up to 32 subscribers.
