Able of Ontents: Chapter 1 - Optical Fibres Characteristics

This document provides an overview of optical fibre characteristics, cables, and systems. It discusses the key attributes of single-mode and multimode optical fibres including their core and cladding characteristics, effective area, numerical aperture, chromatic dispersion and more. It also summarizes the characteristics of optical fibre cables such as their attenuation and polarization mode dispersion. Finally, it outlines the attributes of optical fibre links including their attenuation, chromatic dispersion, differential group delay, and non-linear coefficient.
