Total internal reflection Dielectric Waveguide Let us consider the simpler case of a rectangular slab of waveguide. Snell’s Law of Reflection Snell’s Law of Refraction Refracted wave Incident wave Incident wave Total internal reflection Critical Angle: Reflected wave When the incident angle is greater than the critical angle, the wave is totally reflected back and this phenomenon is known as Total internal reflection.

Dielectric Waveguide Index of refraction: The index of refraction, n, is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the unbounded medium, or Where In nonmagnetic material Snell’s Law of Refraction can be expressed in terms of refractive index: Critical Angle: Snell’s Law of Refraction:

Dielectric Waveguide Example D7.5: A slab of dielectric with index of refraction 3.00 sits in air. What is the relative permittivity of the dielectric? At what angle from a normal to the boundary will light be totally reflected within the dielectric? (Ans: 9, 19.5) What is the relative permittivity of the dielectric? At what angle from a normal to the boundary will light be totally reflected within the dielectric?

Dielectric Waveguide TE wave The reflection coefficient of a TE plane wave (See Chapter 5) is given by Ex Hz TE wave Hy TE modes (50 mm thick dielectric of r = 4 or n=2 operating at 4.5 GHz) Using Snell’s Law of refraction LHS (A) RHS (B) (C) For this example only three TE modes are possible; A) TE0 at i = 74.4, B) TE1 at i = 57.9, and C) TE2 at i = 39.8. Possible modes can be obtained by evaluating the phase expression for various values of m. RHS LHS

Dielectric Waveguide TM wave The reflection coefficient of a TM plane wave (See Chapter 5) is given by Ex Ez TM wave Hy TM modes (50 mm thick dielectric of r = 4 or n=2 operating at 4.5 GHz) Using Snell’s Law of refraction LHS (A) RHS (B) (C) Possible modes can be obtained by evaluating the phase expression for various values of m. For this example only three TM modes are possible; A) TM0 at i = 71.6, B) TM1 at i = 52, and C) TM2 at i = 33. RHS LHS

Dielectric Waveguide RHS for various m RHS LHS A larger ratio of n1/n2 results in a lower critical angle and therefore more propagating modes. For single mode operation: (or) Using

Dielectric Waveguide Example D7.6: Suppose a polyethylene dielectric slab of thickness 100 mm exists in air. What is the maximum frequency at which this slab will support only one mode? From Table E.2, for polyethylene The maximum frequency at which this slab will support only one mode is

Dielectric Waveguide Field Equations: The field equations can be obtained by solving Maxwell’s equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Even Modes: 1 1 2 2 3 3 Odd Modes: 1 1 2 2 3 3 The phase constant in medium 1 is The attenuation in medium 2 is The propagation velocity is The effective wavelength in the guide is

Dielectric Waveguide Example D7.6: Find e and up at 4.5 GHz for the TE0 mode in a 50 mm thick n1 = 2.0 dielectric in air. (Ans: 35 mm and 1.6 x 108 m/s) From Fig. 7.16, the critical incident angle for the TE0 mode TE0 at i = 74.4 The effective wavelength in the guide is The propagation velocity is

Optical Fiber A typical optical fiber is shown in Figure. The fiber core is completely encased in a fiber cladding that has a slightly lesser value of refractive index. Signals propagate along the core by total internal reflection at the core-cladding boundary. A cross section of the fiber with rays traced for two different incident angles is shown. If the phase matching condition is met, these rays each represent propagating modes. The abrupt change in n is characteristic of a step-index fiber. Optical fiber designed to support only one propagating mode is termed single-mode fiber. More than one mode propagates in multi-mode fiber. In step-index optical fiber, a single mode will propagate so long as the wavelength is big enough such that where k01 is the first root of the zeroth order Bessel function, equal to 2.405

Optical Fiber For step-index multi-mode fiber, the total number of propagating modes is approximately Example 7.3: Suppose we have an optical fiber core of index 1.465 sheathed in cladding of index 1.450. What is the maximum core radius allowed if only one mode is to be supported at a wavelength of 1550 nm? How many modes are supported at this maximum radius for a source wavelength of 850 nm? The fiber supports 9 modes!

The sum of the internal angles in a triangle is 180 deg. Optical Fiber Numerical Aperture Light must be fed into the end of the fiber to initiate mode propagation. As Figure shows, upon incidence from air (no) to the fiber core (nf) the light is refracted by Snell’s Law: Fiber Laser Source The sum of the internal angles in a triangle is 180 deg. The numerical aperture, NA, is defined as

Optical Fiber Numerical Aperture The incident light make an angle c with a normal to the core–cladding boundary. A necessary condition for propagation is that c exceed the critical angle (i)critical, where Therefore, the numerical aperture, NA, can be written as Fiber Laser Source

Optical Fiber Numerical Aperture Example 7.4: Let’s find the critical angle within the fiber described in Example 7.3. Then we’ll find the acceptance angle and the numerical aperture. The critical angle is The acceptance angle Finally, the numerical aperture is

Optical Fiber Signal Degradation Attenuation Intermodal Dispersion: Let us consider the case when a single-frequency source (called a monochromatic source) is used to excite different modes in a multi-mode fiber. Each mode will travel at a different angle and therefore each mode will travel at a different propagation velocity. The pulse will be spread out at the receiving end and this effect is termed as the intermodal dispersion. Waveguide Dispersion: The propagation velocity is a function of frequency. The spreading out of a finite bandwidth pulse due to the frequency dependence of the velocity is termed as the waveguide dispersion. Material Dispersion: The index of refraction for optical materials is generally a function of frequency. The spreading out of a pulse due to the frequency dependence of the refractive index is termed as the material dispersion. Attenuation Electronic Absorption: The photonic energy at short wavelengths may have the right amount of energy to excite crystal electrons to higher energy states. These electrons subsequently release energy by phonon emission (i.e., heating of the crystal lattice due to vibration). Vibrational Absorption: If the photonic energy matches the vibration energy (at longer wavelengths), energy is lost to vibrational absorption.

Optical Fiber Graded-Index Fiber One approach to minimize dispersion in a multimode fiber is to use a graded index fiber (or GRIN, for short). The index of refraction in the core has an engineered profile like the one shown in Figure. Here, higher order modes have a longer path to travel, but spend most of their time in lower index of refraction material that has a faster propagation velocity. Lower order modes have a shorter path, but travel mostly in the slower index material near the center of the fiber. The result is the different modes all propagate along the fiber at close to the same speed. The GRIN therefore has less of a dispersion problem than a multimode step index fiber.
