McqMate

Q.	What is needed to predict the performance characteristics of single mode fibers?
A.	the intermodal delay effect
B.	geometric distribution of light in a propagating mode
C.	fractional power flow in the cladding of fiber
D.	normalized frequency
Answer» B. geometric distribution of light in a propagating mode
Explanation: a mode field diameter (mfd) is a fundamental parameter of single mode fibers. it tells us about the geometric distribution of light. mfd is analogous to core diameter in multimode fibers, except in single mode fibers not all the light that propagates is carried in the core.
