2. Introduction to multimode (MMF) and slightly multimode (FMF) optical fibers
2.1 Intermodal coupling
As we saw earlier, the modal content of an optical fiber, at a given wavelength, is fixed by the normalized frequency, which in turn depends on the guide's opto-geometric properties. Unlike a single-mode optical fibre, which, at the wavelength of use, only allows propagation of the multimode fibers, on the other hand, typically support from two to ten groups of modes (in the case of FMFs) up to several dozen or even...
