Numerical Aperture (NA)
Numerical aperture (NA) is a critical performance specification for multimode fibers. It indicates the maximum angle at which a particular fiber can accept the light that will be transmitted through it. The higher an optical fiber’s NA, the larger the cone of light that can be coupled into its core. Graded-index multimode fibers have a […]
Understanding Zero Water Peak Fiber
For several years, the optical fiber user community has been rapidly shifting from traditional single-mode fibers to new “Full Spectrum” single-mode fibers meeting the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) G.652D specification. These Reduced Water Peak (RWP) fibers are considered Full Spectrum because the reduction of loss in the water absorption spectral region (the E band) allows […]
