| Term (EN) | mode volume |

| Definition (EN) | The number of bound modes that an optical fibre is capable of supporting.
Notes.
1 — For V < 2.405 step index fibre can only support one mode as is the case for singlemode fibre.
2 — For V > 5, approximately given by, V 2/2 and (V 2/2) [g/(g + 2)], for step index and power-law profile fibres, respectively, where g is the profile parameter, and V is the normalised frequency. |

Napomene:
1 – za V < 2.405 step indeks vlakna može podržati samo jedan mod, kao što je slučaj za monomodno vlakno. 
2 – za V > 5, približno je dat sa, V 2/2 i (V 2/2) [g/(g + 2)], za vlakna step indeks profil i stepenovani indeks profil, respektivno, gdje je g parametar profila, a V je normalizovana frekvencija. |
