1. Step index fiber is of two types viz; mono mode fiber and multi mode fiber.
Graded index fiber is of only of one type that is multi mode fiber.
2. The refractive index of the core of the step index fiber is constant through out the core.
The refractive index of the core of the graded index fiber is maximum at the center of the core and then it decreases towards core-cladding interface.
3. Number of modes for step index fiber N = V2/2, where V is cut off frequency or normalized frequency or V- number
Number of modes for graded index fiber is N = V2/ 4.
4. V number can be less that 2.405 or more that 2.405 for step index fiber
V number is always more than 2.405 for graded index fiber.
5. Step Index Fiber is a fiber in which the core is of a uniform refractive index and there is a sharp decrease in the index of refraction at the cladding.
Graded Index Fiber is a type of fiber where the refractive index of the core is lower toward the outside of the fiber. It bends the rays inward and also allows them to travel faster in the lower index of refraction region. This type of fiber provides high bandwidth capabilities.
WDM wavelength division multiplexing
Optical fiber carries signals through light, and therefore at light speed, the fastest possible, and gets less hot. Copper wire transmits information using electricity, which although fast, is not nearly as fast as light. Fiber optics allows faster transmission of data.
SR (Short hul) is a multimode fiber while LR (Long hul) is a single mode fiber, the SR spans much shorter distance than the LR

If the fiber tract connects the cerebral cortex and the lower brain or spinal cord then it is referred to as a projection tract.
Fiber and fibre mean the same thing. The only difference is that fiber is derived from American English, and fibre is derived from European English.
splicing is of optical fiber cable where as jointing is of cther cables
Fiber optic couplers can be either active or passive devices. The difference between active and passive couplers is that a passive coupler redistributes the optical signal without optical-to-electrical conversion. Active couplers are electronic devices that split or combine the signal electrically and use fiber optic detectors and sources for input and output.
A fiber optical signal is based on the transfer of photons, while an electrical signal is based on the transfer of electrons.
G 655 used fiber long distance SM fiber G655, and G652 short distance used, G652 Nonzero fiber
No. As long as the signal is getting through, the gauge of the optical connection makes no difference.
If V is less than 2.405 then the fiber is mono mode but if V is greater than 2.405 then fiber is multimode. V number is also related with the number of modes is the fiber as: N = V2/ 2 for step index fiber and Number of modes for graded index fiber is N = V2/ 4.

A passive star has no electronics. The light from one fiber illuminates a number of others. An active repeater converts the optical signal to an electri- cal one for further processing.
Hi, Fiber Optics transmit signal using lights rather than electic current, so when signal passes though an optical fiber cable, it does not generate electric or magnetic field around it, and it is not affected by surrounding magnetic or electric fields Adv of optical fiber is that they are immune to noise, signal passes at lights speed, and no signal power is lost along the transmission line.
Usually, there is a laser diode that is optically coupled to the fiber.
