Single mode fiber (SMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry only one ray of light at a time. It has a small core diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns, which allows only one mode of light to propagate. SMF is used in long-distance communication networks, such as those used by telecom companies, as it can transmit data over distances of up to 80 km without the need for signal regeneration. SMF is also used in high-speed data networks, such as those used by internet service providers, as it can support data rates of up to 10 Gbps. SMF is typically identified by its core diameter of 9 microns and its numerical aperture (NA) of 0.14.
