Term (EN)leaky ray, tunnelling ray
Definition (EN)In an optical fibre, a light ray for which geometric optics would predict total reflection at the core boundary, but which suffers a loss unexplained by this theory, by virtue of the curved core boundary. Note. — Leaky rays correspond to leaky modes.

Term (SR)propusni zraci, tunel zraci
Definition (SR)U optičkom vlaknu, svjetlosni zrak za koji geometrijska optika predviđa totalnu refleksiju na granici jezgre, ali koji pretrpi gubitke neobjašnjive po ovoj teoriji, zahvaljujući zaobljenim granicama jezgre. Napomena — Propusne zrake odgovaraju propusnom modu.
