Fiber optics introduction
• Light is guided in the core of optical
fibers by total internal reflection (TIR)
• TIR enables low loss propagation over
large distance
• Light propagates inside the fiber in
form of modes
• Optical fibers can be classified as
single mode and multimode fibers
• Information transfer rate of multimode
fibers is limited by modal dispersion
• The modal dispersion is greatly
reduced in graded index (GRIN)
fibers

Guided rays in step index fibers
Meridional rays
The trajectory of meridional rays lie in
planes that pass through the axis of
the fiber. The ray is guided if θ:
Skewed rays
Skewed rays lie in planes shifted from the
fiber axes by a distance R. The rays are
identified by the angles θ and φ. The ray
trajectory is confined within a cylindrical
shell with an inner and outer radius R
and a, respectively. The propagation
condition is the same as for meridional
rays: Condition for guidance

Polarization maintaining fibers
Types of polarization maintaining fiber
• PANDA Polarization-maintaining And
Absorption reducing Fibers
• Elliptical clad
• Bow-tie
y
x
• In conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) LP01
mode has two orthogonal polarizations (x,y),
i.e. SMF two orthogonal polarization modes.
• Since polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is
vanishingly small uncontrolled power transfer
between two linear polarizations may occur.
=> Elliptical polarization
• Breaking circular symmetry of conventional
SMF enables two polarization modes propagate
at different speeds and become uncoupled.
