Singlemode fiber has a lower power loss characteristic than multimode fiber, which means light can travel longer distances through it than it can through multimode fiber. Not surprising, the optics required to drive singlemode fiber are more expensive.
When to use each: Both singlemode and modern multimode fiber can handle 10G speeds. The most important thing to consider is the distance requirement. Within a data center, it's typical to use multimode which can get you 300-400 meters. If you have very long runs or are connecting over longer distance, single mode can get you 10km, 40km, 80km, and even farther - you just need to use the appropriate optic for the distance required, and again, the prices go up accordingly.
Compatibility issues: They are not compatible. You cannot mix multimode and singlemode fiber between two endpoints. The optics are not compatible either.

There are 2 major differences one color code. single mode will be white or yellow. multimode will be black or tan. 2nd the hole in the connector ferrel for the fiber. fiber is 125 microns. in a single mode connector the opening is 126 microns. multimode is 127/128.
Single Mode cable is a single strand (most applications use 2 fibers) of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one mode of transmission. Single Mode Fiber with a relatively narrow diameter, through which only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm. Carries higher bandwidth than multimode fiber, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Synonyms mono-mode optical fiber, single-mode fiber, single-mode optical waveguide, uni-mode fiber.
Single Modem fiber is used in many applications where data is sent at multi-frequency (WDM Wave-Division-Multiplexing) so only one cable is needed - (single-mode on one single fiber)
Single-mode fiber gives you a higher transmission rate and up to 50 times more distance than multimode, but it also costs more. Single-mode fiber has a much smaller core than multimode. The small core and single light-wave virtually eliminate any distortion that could result from overlapping light pulses, providing the least signal attenuation and the highest transmission speeds of any fiber cable type.
Single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber in which only the lowest order bound mode can propagate at the wavelength of interest typically 1300 to 1320nm.
Multi-Mode cable has a little bit bigger diameter, with a common diameters in the 50-to-100 micron range for the light carry component (in the US the most common size is 62.5um). Most applications in which Multi-mode fiber is used, 2 fibers are used (WDM is not normally used on multi-mode fiber). POF is a newer plastic-based cable which promises performance similar to glass cable on very short runs, but at a lower cost.
Multimode fiber gives you high bandwidth at high speeds (10 to 100MBS - Gigabit to 275m to 2km) over medium distances. Light waves are dispersed into numerous paths, or modes, as they travel through the cable's core typically 850 or 1300nm. Typical multimode fiber core diameters are 50, 62.5, and 100 micrometers. However, in long cable runs (greater than 3000 feet [914.4 meters), multiple paths of light can cause signal distortion at the receiving end, resulting in an unclear and incomplete data transmission so designers now call for single mode fiber in new applications using Gigabit and beyond.
More Information:
Multimode and Singlemode fiber are the five types of fiber in common use. Both fibers are 125 microns in outside diameter - a micron is one one-millionth of a meter & 125 microns is 0.005 inches- a bit larger than the typical human hair. Multimode fiber has light travelling in the core in lots of rays, called modes. It's a bigger core (always 62.5 microns, but sometimes 50 microns) & is used with LED sources at wavelengths of 850 & 1300 nm for slower local area networks (LANs) & lasers at 850 & 1310 nm for networks jogging at gigabits per second or more. Singlemode fiber has a much smaller core, only about 9 microns, so that the light travels in one ray. It is used for telephony & CATV with laser sources at 1300 & 1550 nm. Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is large core (about 1mm) fiber that can only be used for short, low speed networks.
Step index multimode was the first fiber design but is slow for most makes use of, due to the dispersion caused by the different path lengths of the various modes. Step index fiber is rare - only POF makes use of a step index design today.
Graded index multimode fiber makes use of variations in the composition of the glass in the core to compensate for the different path lengths of the modes. It offers hundreds of times more bandwidth than step index fiber - up to about 2 gigahertz.
Singlemode fiber shrinks the core down so small that the light can only travel in one ray. This increases the bandwidth to infinity - but it is practically limited to about 100,000 gigahertz.

Single mode fibers have higher bandwidth than multimode.
Single mode fiber equipment is more expensive than the equipment for multimode.
Single mode fiber is cheaper than multimode fiber.
Multimode fibers have higher capacity and reliability over short distances than single mode.
Multimode fibers support more than one propagation mode unlike single fiber
Multimode fibers are limited by modal dispersion whereas single mode is not.
Multi-mode fiber optic cable is the earliest commercially available fiber optic cable, due to the presence of dispersion is serious, the attenuation is large, the available bandwidth is narrow, cost issues, it have exited the optical fiber network of the main battlefield platform of telecom operators . only to to retain market share at the smartbuilding fiber optic cabling. When the multi-mode fiber optic cable for video transmission, it can only meet about the farthest 3 ~ 5km transmission distance, and have great restrictions on the bandwidth of the video multiplexer(for analog modulation) and a transfer rate (for digital), which is generally suitable for short-range, small capacity, simple application occasions. Particularly greatly limited the application of non-compressed digital Optical multiplexer in the transmission distance and capacity.
Single-mode fiber optic (mainly g.652 fiber) cable has become the mainstream of current optical communication transmission due to its low prices and high performance. The endless stream of new technologies in the field of optical fiber communication, whether it is a long-range, high-capacity, or business, and both are developed for single-mode fiber.

Not really. These are two different types of fiber optic cable and are used for different reasons. In other words, you can't mix SMF and MMF fiber in the same cable, but they could be used in separate cables in the same network (although it isn't likely)
MMF fiber is used for short haul interconnects, and SMF fiber is typically used for longer distances,

In a multimode fiber modal dispersion causes each mode to have a different velocity and reach to the end of the fiber at a different time. This will cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) which means that we need to send data at lower rates in order to prevent ISI. Lower rates means a reduction in bandwidth.

Light. Laser or optical range light more specfic. Then this would pulse extremely fast on and off to give you a binary transmission. You have devices on each end that can tke that and turn it into whatever data you want. Like IP traffic or something. You also hve single mode and multimode fiber. Single mode can travel longer distances usually because its just one signal. Multimode has multiple "lights" in it but because of that usually more interference and less distance.

Fiber Types & Modes of Transmission
In fiber optics, the term "mode" refers to a stable propagation state of light down the fiber. Fibers can have any number of stable propagation states (modes), giving rise to two basic types of optical fibers, multimode and singlemode. Multimode obviously refers to a fiber that has many modes of propagation, while a singlemode, by design, only has one. Whether a particular fiber is multimode or singlemode depends on the fiber geometry, core/clad refractive indices, and the wavelength of operation. Multimode fibers can be further broken down into two subcategories, step-index and graded-index. Each type has distinctive advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed below in more detail.
Step-Index Multimode Fiber This was the first fiber type to find practical application, and continues to be in wide use today. A step-index multimode fiber allows the light to travel at many different angles within the fiber, thereby allowing many modes of propagation. The term "step" refers to the step function the refractive index takes at the core/clad interface.
The advantages of a step-index multimode fiber are related to the relatively large core area and high numerical apertures. Both of these properties allow light to be easily coupled into the fiber. In turn, this allows the use of inexpensive termination techniques, low cost diodes, and high power handling capability. These fibers are therefore widely used in high power laser delivery applications (medical procedures, material processing), industrial process control links (factory automation), short distance data communications, and fiber sensors.
A disadvantage to step-index multimode is bandwidth. Referring to the figure, the path the light takes down a step-index multimode fiber will be longer or shorter depending on the angle of propagation. This difference in path length causes the pulse of light to spread out during its journey down the fiber. This is known as modal dispersion (see Dispersion section). As one pulse spreads, it eventually interferes with the neighboring pulses, distorting the transmission signal. The longer the fiber length, the more severe this pulse spreading will become. However, this is only a problem in applications that require a coherent signal, as in communications links. Power delivery or sensor systems do not require coherent transmission and many data communication or industrial process control links are relatively short distances (less than 2km), allowing the widespread use of step-index multimode fiber.
There is a wide selection of step-index multimode fiber available. Sizes vary from ~50 to >2000µm core diameters. Their construction can be silica or plastic cladding using silica, plastic, or liquid as a core. There are also applications with no core called hollow waveguides. The silica constructions allow lower attenuation, greater spectral range, higher power handling capability, and greater environmental range. Plastic fibers offer lower cost and greater flexibility, but are limited in transmission and environmental properties. Hollow waveguides are used principally in the IR.
Polymicro offers a wide selection of step-index, multimode fibers, particularly for laser power delivery and stringent or harsh environmental conditions. Please refer to our data sheets.
Graded-Index Multimode Fiber As the name implies, the refractive index of this fiber gradually decreases from the core out through the cladding, as opposed to the abrupt step change of step-index. Instead of taking a zigzag path down the fiber, the gradual change in refractive index directs the light in a sinusoidal path as previously illustrated. Since the light travels faster in a material of lower refractive index, the light traveling on the outer reaches of the graded region moves more quickly, thereby reducing the amount of pulse spreading. The result is a dramatic >25-fold increase in bandwidth over step-index multimode fibers.
Graded-index is actually a compromise between step-index multimode and singlemode fibers, trading off bandwidth for ease of termination and light launch. The graded profile and smaller core increases bandwidth over step-index multimode, but the core sizes are still large enough for convenient termination and use of lower cost diodes. In more recent years, the components and techniques for terminating singlemode has improved dramatically, so graded-index has seen a decline in market share. However, graded-index remains a popular standard for use in medium distance (2-15km) data communication links.
The most common core sizes for graded-index multimode fibers are 50, 62.5, and 100mm. These sizes have become industry standards. The construction is always silica core/silica clad based, with dopants (typically Ge, B, P, and F) used to adjust the refractive index in the graded profile. This fiber is used almost exclusively for medium distance data communication (local area networks), although it is sometimes used for fiber sensor systems. The smaller core area makes this fiber less useful for power delivery applications, however new special, larger core designs specifically for high power applications are available.
Singlemode Fiber In singlemode fiber the core size is reduced to the point (5-10mm diameter) where only one mode, the primary mode, can be guided. This mode essentially travels straight through the fiber and thus is not subject to the pulse spreading seen in multimode fiber due to different path lengths. The net effect is a substantial increase in bandwidth since all the light is traveling at the same speed for the same distance. In addition, using the primary mode and higher operational wavelengths (1310 and 1550nm) results in very low attenuation. For these reasons, singlemode is the fiber of choice for long distance data and voice communication.
Singlemode does experience some distortion of the signal, but this is due primarily to chromatic dispersion, which is variation in light speed due to the pulse not being purely monochromatic. This type of dispersion is very small when compared to the modal dispersion experienced in multimode fibers.
Singlemode fiber typically consists of a silica core/silica clad construction with a step-index refractive index profile. The core and/or clad is doped to obtain the index difference between the core and clad. The core size, being very small, is more difficult and costly to terminate versus the multimode fibers, but for long distance systems this cost is acceptable. In contrast, the small core size does not allow a great deal of power input, and therefore this fiber is generally not suitable for power delivery and many sensor applications.

Fiber is divided into the following two categories:
1) transfer points modulo class
Transfer points modulo class of single-mode fiber and multimode fiber. Single-mode fiber core diameter is small, at a given operating wavelength only in single-mode transmission, the transmission frequency bandwidth, transmission capacity. Multimode fiber is given in the operating wavelength, can be transmitted simultaneously to a plurality of mode optical fiber. Compared with single-mode fiber, multimode fiber transmission performance is poor.
2) refractive index distribution type
Refractive index distribution type optical transitions can be divided into optical fiber and tapered optical fiber. Hopping optical fiber core refractive index and the refractive index of the protective layer is a constant. And a protective layer in the core of the interface, the refractive index changes stepwise type. Graded refractive index of optical fiber core increases as the radius decreases according to certain rules, and the protective layer of the core is reduced to the junction of the refractive index of the protective layer. Similar to the refractive index of the core changes parabola.

With two multimode fibers in common usage today (50/125 and 62.5/125) and two others which have been used occasionally in the past (100/140 and 85/125) and several types of singlemode fiber in use, it is possible to sometimes have to connect dissimilar fibers or use systems designed for one fiber size on another. If you connect a smaller fiber to a larger one, the coupling losses will be minimal, often only the fresnel loss (about 0.3 dB). But connecting larger fibers to smaller ones results in substantial losses, not only due to the smaller cores size, but also the smaller NA of most small core fibers.
