Optical fibres are convenient for sending light from one place to another. Once the light is coupled into one end of a fibre it arrives at the other, regardless of how the fibre is bent or moved. Optical fibres come in three versions - multimode fibres, gradient-index fibres, and single-mode fibres (Fig. 7.21).

Typical intensity profiles of the beams exiting the fibre are shown on the right, exhibiting a speckle pattern for the multi-mode fibre and a Gaussian profile for the single-mode fibre...

The case that an uncoated silica optical fibre is laminated by two rigid plates is considered, as shown in Fig. 9.5. Since the silica optical fibre is a rigid medium, this contact problem can be simplified to line force loading. Then the close form of the stress solutions can be obtained with the help of the plane stress assumption. Since the electric field in a single mode fibre is concentrated in the core region, the solution in the centre is approximately selected to represent the stress of a single mode fibre under lateral compression. The stress in the core can be expressed as ...
