Abstract
The previous chapter concluded with a brief discussion of some of the problems encountered in achieving high bandwidths in multimode fibres. Largely as a consequence of these and other problems, recent years have seen a massive shift of interest worldwide to the use of monomode fibres for applications calling for high bandwidths and/or long lengths between repeaters. Progress in monomode fibre technology has been rapid, and this chapter aims to give the principles governing single-mode propagation in fibres, again using the minimum amount of mathematical detail.
