The distinguished benefits of Multi-mode optical fiber

Optical fiber cable with its complex design has an outer optical coverage that surrounds the light and traps it within a central core. We can distinguish the optical fiber cable in two different types. One is Single mode optical fiber and the other is multimode optical fiber.

Multi-modefiber is a type of optical fiber designed to carry multiple light rays. This fiber mostly used for communication between short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Other common type of optical fiber is the single-mode fiber, which is used mainly for longer distances. Because of its high capacity and reliability, multi-mode fiber generally is used for backbone applications in buildings. This fiber is also used when high optical powers are to be carried through an optical-fiber, such as in leaser welding. Bend resistant optical fibers which are multi-moded at 1300 nm include a core, an inner cladding, a low index ring and an outer cladding.

Difference between single mode and multi-mode fiber optics patch cables:-

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.

1. Single mode fiber patch cable is best choice for transforming data over long distance and multi-mode fiber patch cable is best for short distance data transforming. 
2. Single mode fiber has less attenuation than Multi mode fiber.
3. Multi-mode is more costly than Single mode fiber. 
4. Single mode fiber has lower bandwidth whereas Multi mode fiber has higher bandwidth. 
5. Single mode fiber can't be tapped because of its single path but multi-mode fiber requires a laser source to launch the signal

Applications of Multi-mode optical fiber:-

1. This type of fiber has liquid absorbance analytical technique.
2. It has individual light sources.
3. This multi-mode fiber is used for .transporting light signals.
4. Multi-mode fiber is also used when high optical powers are to be carried through an optical fiber.
5. It also has solid or liquid Raman analytical technic.

Benefits of Multi-mode optical fiber:-

1. It can be used within large capacity and high speed network.
2. This fiber provides greater data transforming capabilities.
3. Multi-mode fiber provides high attenuation and dispersion.
4. Can provides certified cable.
5. It can be used such as in leaser welding.

Bend resistant multi-mode optical fibers:-

Bend resistant multi-mode optical fibers are disclosed herein. This fibers disclosed herein comprise a core region and a cladding region surrounding and directly adjacent to the core region. The cladding region comprising a depressed-index annular portion, or a “depressed cladding ring” or a “ring”. Between depressed relative reactive index and another portion of cladding, cladding is more preferable. The refractive index profile of the core has a parabolic shape. The depressed-index annular portion comprises glass has a plurality of holes, or fluorine-doped glass, or fluorine-doped glass has a plurality of holes.

Relation between Optical fiber and Solarization resistance fiber:-

This fiber optic patch cables are similar to Solarization resistance fiber. Solarization refers to the formation of color centers within a fiber that lead to transmission degradation and these color centers form when exposed to light below 300 nm. Solarization-resistant fibers are desirable when working in the UV rays due to their superior transmission and prolonged performance. Typical applications for solarization resistance fibers are spectroscopy and medical diagnostics.
