Otherwise, APC connectors are used. <a id="figure--fig:optical-connector-PC-APC"></a> {{< figure src="/ox-hugo/optical_connector_PC_APC.png" caption="<span class=\"figure-number\">Figure 3: </span>PC (usually black) and APC (usually green) connectors" >}} ## Multi-mode and Single-mode fibers {#multi-mode-and-single-mode-fibers} If laser is used (fiber interferometer for instance), a single-mode fiber should be used and the wavelength of the mode should be matched with the wavelength of the laser. ## Bibliography {#bibliography} <style>.csl-entry{text-indent: -1.5em; margin-left: 1.5em;}</style><div class="csl-bib-body"> </div>
