  "term": "Propagation mode",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A specific pattern of electromagnetic field distribution that can exist and travel within a waveguide or optical fiber. Each mode has a distinct velocity and attenuation characteristic, influencing signal integrity and transmission distance. Single-mode fibers support only one propagation mode, while multimode fibers support several.",
