What are the Differences Between Fiber Optic Speed and Distance?
This not only helps keep light within the core, but also helps move it through the length of the fiber. Light can sometimes saturate the core as well as the cladding, so it is important that the cladding supports various refractive indexes as well as modes. Modern fibers are built with a higher refractive index than that of the cladding to ensure the quick dissipation of light.
