Abstract :
The bandwidth characteristics of single and multimode optical fibers have been investigated with single and multilongitudinal mode laser sources operating at 0.8, 1.3, and 1.5 μm. It is shown that single-mode fiber with a cutoff wavelength of 1.3 μm can support 1 Gb/s transmission over at least 7.5 km with a 0.8-μm laser source.
