Product Code : SCL-EELE-13252
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Mode Characteristics in Fiber Optics (Product ID: 13252) as part of its electronics engineering lab equipment range. It is an optical-bench set-up for measuring numerical aperture and V number, and for viewing mode patterns, in single-mode and multimode fibres.
Quick Answer
The normalised frequency V = 2πa·NA/λ decides how many modes a fibre guides: below 2.405 only the fundamental mode propagates, above it higher modes appear. Students launch a 650 nm, 2 mW laser into a 9 µm glass fibre (NA 0.13, single-mode at 1300–1600 nm) and a 1000 µm plastic fibre (NA about 0.5), measure NA on the screen and compare the mode patterns. At 650 nm the 9 µm fibre has V of roughly 5.6, so a few modes show. The laser is described as He-Ne, yet He-Ne lasers emit at 632.8 nm, not 650 nm; please confirm the laser type at quotation. Never look into the laser or a lit fibre end.

Frequently Asked Questions
What V number marks single-mode operation?
V below 2.405.
Why can modes be seen in the single-mode fibre?
At 650 nm its V number is above 2.405, so a few modes propagate.
What fibres are supplied?
1 m of 9 µm glass fibre and 1 m of 1000 µm plastic fibre, both with SMA connectors.
