Putting Light to Work for You Features of Signal Transfer

What have we learned? Any traveling sinusoidal wave may be described by y = y m sin(kx   t +  )  is the phase constant that determines where the wave starts.  = 2  f = 2  /T k = 2  / v = /T = f =  /k Light always reflects with an angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence (angles are measured to the normal).

What have we learned? When light travels into a high index medium (high density of dipoles) from a low index medium, it slows down and bends toward the normal. The amount light slows down in a medium is described by the index of refraction : n =c/v The amount light bends is found by Snell’s Law: n 1 sin  1 = n 2 sin  2 When the angle of refraction is 90 degrees, the angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle sin  c = n 2 /n 1, where n 1 is for the denser medium

Light in a waveguide Light that strikes the side of the fiber at an angle less than the critical angle  c will escape The angle that light strikes the side of the fiber depends on the angle  0 at which light enters the fiber; the higher the angle at entrance, the lower the angle of incidence  i on the fiber wall ii 00 n0n0 n1n1 n2n2

Condition for TIR in a waveguide Snell’s Law (and some geometry) says n 0 sin  0 = n 1 sin (90 -  i ) = n 1 cos  i If all of the beam is to stay within the waveguide, the angle of incidence on the wall must be greater than the critical angle: sin  c = n 2 /n 1 Then the angle at entrance must be obey n 0 sin  0 < n 1 cos  c ii 00 n0n0 n1n1 n2n2

Numerical Aperture n 0 sin  0 < n 1 cos  c Using some trig (and the critical angle relationship) we see that the maximum angle of entrance  m is found from n 0 sin  m = n 1 (1 - sin 2  c ) 1/2 = n 1 (1-n 2 2 /n 1 2 ) 1/2 = (n n 2 2 ) 1/2. The function n 0 sin  m is called the numerical aperture (NA) of the waveguide. A large NA means light can enter in a large cone and still stay within the waveguide. ii 00 n0n0 n1n1 n2n2

Fourier Analysis Waves we want to send are not always sinusoidal BUT, Fourier showed that EVERY periodic function may be expressed as a sum of sine functions –Each term in the sum has a frequency equal to an integer times the frequency of the original function. For example, a square wave is given by y(t) = (4/  ) (sin  t + (1/3) sin 3  t + (1/5) sin 5  t + (1/7) sin 7  t +...) Visual aids are best, so we go to CUPS (you’ll use it in part of your activity today, so pay attention!)

Do the Before You Start part of the activity Continue to the Fourier Series – Square Wave part

Fourier Transforms Waves we want to send are not always periodic BUT, Fourier showed that EVERY function may be expressed as an integral of sine functions –Non-periodic function is similar to infinite period, or infintesimal frequency –A sum over infintesimal steps (sin  t + sin 2  t + …) is an integral Visual aids are still best, so we again go to CUPS (you’ll use it in part of your activity today, so pay attention!)

Why do we care about Fourier? We want to send signals from one computer/phone/etc. to another one. These signals will not be periodic if the message is to have any meaning. Each Fourier component is subject to different interactions as it travels Bandwidth is the range of frequencies that can travel through a medium Large bandwidths are hard to transfer reliably

Dispersion Index of refraction is dependent on wavelength. Typical materials exhibit higher indices of refraction for lower wavelengths (higher energies) Thus violet light bends the most through a prism or water and appears on the outside of a rainbow.

Phase differences and interference Light rays taking different paths will travel different distances and be reflected a different number of times Both distance and reflection affect the how rays combine Rays will combine in different ways, sometimes adding and sometimes canceling ii 00 n0n0 n1n1 n2n2

Modes Certain combinations of rays produce a field that is uniform in amplitude throughout the length of the fiber These combinations are called modes and are similar to standing wave on a string Every path can be expressed as a sum of modes (like Fourier series) ii 00 n0n0 n1n1 n2n2

Reducing the number of Modes Different modes interact differently with the fiber, so modes will spread out, or disperse If the fiber is narrow, only a small range of  0 will be able to enter, so the number of modes produced will decrease A small enough fiber can have only a single mode BUT, you will lose efficiency because not all the light from the source enters the fiber. ii 00 n0n0 n1n1 n2n2

Optical waveguides pros and cons Message remains private Flexibility Low Loss Insensitive to EM interference BUT Expensive to connect to every house Require electricity-to-light converters Either multi-modal, or less efficient
