Buying Multimode Fibers

multimode fibers

Top-level product category: fiber optics

More general product categories: fibers

More specific product categories: graded-index fibers

Related product categories: single-mode fibers, large mode area fibers, large-core fibers, fiber optics

Multimode fibers are optical fibers that support multiple guided modes. They are used in applications such as high-power pump light transport from laser diodes to solid-state lasers and in optical fiber communications, offering higher data capacity over short distances.
