Introduction to Fiber Optics

What are optical fibers Thin strands of pure glass Carry data over long distances At very high speeds Fiber can be bent or twisted

Fiber optic technology Sources Transmission medium Detectors Fig: The fiber optic communication system

Sources of light Light emitting diodes Lasers

Sources Modulate electrical signals into optical signals Mostly modulate at 850nm, 1300nm and 1550 nm Lasers give high intensity, high frequency light LEDs are economical

Transmission medium Optical fiber is replacing copper Light is used as the carrier of information Much higher data rate The optical fiber

Physics of optical fibers Index of refraction of material : ratio of speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in medium Refraction of light : bending of light as it travels from one media to another

Refraction of light Speed of light changes as it across the boundary of two media Angles w.r.t normal

Refraction Indices Vacuum…….1.00000 (exactly) Air ……1.00029 Alcohol ......1.329 Diamond ...... 2.417 Glass ........ 1.5 Ice ....... 1.309 Sodium Chloride (Salt) .... 1.544 Sugar Solution (80%) ........ 1.49 Water (20 C) ................ 1.333

Snell’s Law Critical angle: Angle of incidence at which angle of refraction = 900

Total internal reflection Trapping light in the fiber

Fibers can be bent!!                                                        Fig: Illustration of total internal reflection

Types of optical fibers Single mode only one signal can be transmitted use of single frequency Multi mode Several signals can be transmitted Several frequencies used to modulate the signal

Losses in optical fibers Attenuation loss Dispersion loss Waveguide loss

Splices and Connectors To connect to fibers mechanically or by fusion Lot of signal loss possible Very accurate alignment necessary Most important cost factor Now being replaced by optical amplifiers

Optical Receivers Must be very sensitive Capable of picking up and amplifying signals of nanowatts Photodiodes and phototransistors These devices get ‘turned ON’ by light Produce photocurrent

Advantages of optical fibers Can carry much more information Much higher data rates Much longer distances than co-axial cables Immune to electromagnetic noise Light in weight Unaffected by atmospheric agents
