Low-cost and low-loss conversion of OM3 to OM4 MMFs using strong mode mixing
Abstract:
We experimentally demonstrate low-cost and low-loss conversion of OM3 to OM4 MMFs using strong mode mixing by simple LPGs for datacenter applications. OM3 MMFs can be converted to OM4 MMFs (error-free transmission at 10 Gb/s over 400 m) with only 0.2 dB loss. Error-free transmission can be extended to 530 m with a larger loss. With suitably designed index profiles, the proposed method's fabrication tolerance exceeds that for OM4 MMFs.

Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
