1-A LED of radius 20 um puts out 0.2 mW. How much power is coupled in 50/125 SI fiber whose NA=0.25. Repeat for the single mode SI fiber of 5/125 with NA = 0.15
2-A LED of radius 25 um is coupled to 5 um SM fiber with numerical aperture Determine the coupling efficiency
3-A laser of dimensions 0.5x0.5 um2 puts power 0.2 mw. How much power is coupled to a SM fiber with numerical aperture 0.15 and radius 5um.
4-The mean optical power launched into an optical fiber link is 1.5 mW and the fiber has an attenuation of 0.5 dB/km. Determine the maximum possible link length without repeaters (assuming lossless connectors) when the minimum mean optical power level required at the detector is 2 µW.

5-An 8 km optical fiber link without repeaters uses multimode graded index fiber which has a bandwidth-length product of 400 MHz km. Estimate:
a-The total pulse broadening on the link
b- the rms pulse broadening on the link
6- A multimode, optimum near parabolic profile graded index fiber has a material dispersion parameter of 30 ps nm-1 km-1 when used with a good LED source of rms spectral width 25 nm. The fiber has a numerical aperture of 0.4 and a core axis refractive index of Estimate the total rms pulse broadening per kilometer within the fiber assuming waveguide dispersion to be negligible. Hence, estimate the bandwidth-length product for the fiber
7-GI fiber has a parabolic refractive index profile and core diameter of 50um. The fiber is jointed with a lateral alignment between the core axes of 3um and there is index matching. Determine the insertion loss at the joint due to lateral misalignment:
a-there is a uniform illumination of all guided modes only;
b-there is a uniform illumination of all guided and leaky modes
