Graphical Representation
Power Confinement
Right above the cut-off, very little power is inside the core. As the core diameter increases, the power of the mode becomes confined inside the core. Fraction of the power propagating inside the core against the V-number.
Optical Attenuation

0.16 dB = (3.6 %)
Dispersion
- modal dispersion
- material dispersion
- waveguide dispersion
