Multimode fibers are a type of optical fiber designed to support multiple transverse guided modes. The fiber core is often quite large — for some large-core fibers not much smaller than the whole fiber (see Figure 1). This characteristic enables them to transmit data at high speeds over relatively short distances, making them an essential component in various optical and photonic. There are five main types of multimode fiber, standardized by ISO/IEC 11801: OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5. These multimode fiber types vary based on core diameter, bandwidth, maximum distance and application suitability.
