Hi,
Can anyone explain or point to a good introduction in simple terms the concept of 'light propagation mode'?
I am in my final year at high school and need to write a research report on how optical fiber communication systems work. The report needs to include some contents beyond what is taught in current school curriculum. However, I really struggle to understand the concept of 'light propagation mode in fiber' and its importance in communication using optical fiber. All the articles I found mentioned the concept using electromagnetic wave theory and use complicated maths which is beyond my current knowledge. Any kind people can help me? I am getting desperate as I spent a lot of time trying to understand the concept and still very confused.
Many thanks,
Ian
