Based on the number of transmission modes in optical fiber, optical fibers can be further classified into multimode fiber and single‑mode fiber.
Multimode optical cables can employ either a step-index refractive index profile or a graded-index refractive index profile; single-mode fibers, on the other hand, typically use a step-index refractive index profile. Consequently, quartz optical fibers can broadly be categorized into three types: multimode step-index fibers, multimode graded-index fibers, and single-mode step-index fibers. The propagation of light—this form of electromagnetic wave—within an optical fiber constitutes a dielectric circular waveguide. When light undergoes total internal reflection at the interface between two media, the electromagnetic wave is confined within the medium, a phenomenon known as guided waves or guided modes. For a given guided wave and operating wavelength, there exist multiple incident angles that satisfy the conditions for total internal reflection; these different incident angles correspond to the various modes of the guided wave. Based on their transmission modes, optical fibers are classified as either multimode fibers or single-mode fibers. Multimode fibers can support the transmission of several distinct modes, whereas single-mode fibers can transmit only a single mode for a given operating wavelength.
The cutoff wavelength λc refers to the minimum operating optical wavelength at which a fiber can achieve single‑mode transmission. In other words, even if all other conditions are met, single‑mode transmission cannot be achieved if the optical wavelength is not greater than the cutoff wavelength of the single‑mode fiber.
Based on the number of transmission modes in optical fiber, optical fibers can be further classified into multimode fibers and single‑mode fibers. At a given operating wavelength, a multimode fiber is a dielectric waveguide capable of transmitting multiple modes, whereas a single‑mode fiber transmits only the fundamental mode.
In fiber-optic communication, single-mode optical cable is a type of cable designed to transmit a single light beam (mode). It is primarily composed of a core, cladding, and coating.

Single‑mode fiber (SMF), also known as SM, is primarily composed of a core, a cladding, and a coating. The core is made from a highly transparent material; the refractive index of the cladding is slightly lower than that of the core, creating a waveguide effect that confines most of the electromagnetic field within the core for transmission. The coating serves to protect the fiber from moisture and mechanical abrasion while enhancing its flexibility. Outside the coating, a plastic jacket is often added.
