High temperature coatings for 150 c and 300 c.
Graded index multi mode fiber.
Suitable for light wave communication links and local area networks carrying voice video and data standard and high temperature up to 375 c versions.
The large diameter of the core allows multiple rays to propagate through the fiber.
Thorlabs graded index grin multimode fiber provides lower modal dispersion and less bend loss than traditional multimode step index fiber with a broad operating wavelength range from 800 1600 nm see the graphs tab for attenuation plots over this range.
Graded index multimode optical fibers optimized for signal transmission at 850 and 1300 nm are available with 50 125 62 5 125 and 100 140 µm core cladding diameters.
This type of fiber is normalized by the international telecommunications union itu t at recommendation g 651 1.
The advantage of the multi mode graded index compared to the multi mode step index is the considerable decrease in modal dispersion.
50μm and 62 5μm variants.
Carbon coating options for reduced hydrogen sensitivity.
Graded index multimode fiber.
Graded index fiber is a type of fiber where the refractive index of the core is uniform at the center core and then it decreases towards core cladding interface.
The transition between the core and cladding can be sharp which is called a step index profile or a gradual transition which is called a graded index profile.
Index profiles is in the shape of a parabolic curve for α 2.
Multi mode fibers are described by their core and cladding diameters.
Graded index fiber is of only one type that is multi mode fiber.
The diameter of core in graded index multimode fiber is somewhat between 50 to 100 micrometer.
Multi mode optical fiber can be built with either graded index or step index.
The light wave that travels inside the fiber changes its behaviour with time while travelling inside it.
