Alright cabling gurus, I've got a question for you: Can you mix single mode and multimode fibers in a single run?<P>I've always assumed the answer is 'no'. Yet this week, I was tracing runs and found ...

Multimode fiber (MMF) consists of a light-guiding core embedded in a cladding with a diameter of typically only 125 µm, about the thickness of a human hair. Unlike single mode fiber, which has a core ...

Schematic of the experimental setup: a spatial light modulator (SLM) generates tailored mode superposition. The MMF scrambles the field. A camera is used to capture the speckle patterns emerging from ...
