Question

Explain transverse electric mode, transverse magnetic mode and hybrid modes in optical fiber

Answer 1

Answer:

Hybrid modes. Non-zero electric and magnetic fields in the direction of propagation. Hollow metallic waveguides filled with a homogeneous, isotropic material (usually air) support TE and TM modes but not the TEM mode. ... In an optical fiber or other dielectric waveguide, modes are generally of the hybrid type.
