The term "mode field diameter" (MFD) is primarily associated with optical fibers, particularly single-mode fibers. It refers to the diameter of the core region of the fiber where the guided light is most concentrated. In simpler terms, it represents the effective width of the light mode propagating through the fiber. ### Key Points: 1. **Light Propagation**: In optical fibers, light can propagate in different modes.
