60 Optical Fiber Cables 60

61 Optical Fiber Cables There Are Many Ways To Connect Cables 61

62 There Are Many Different Connector Types Fiber Optic Connectors 62

63 Fiber Optic Connectors 63

64 Fiber Optic Connectors Connectors Must Be As Precise As The Cable Itself. Metal Connectors Provide A Greater Degree Of Latitude With Respect To Length. Fiber Connectors Must Be Ultra Precise. If Connectors Overly Tight Alter Angle Reflection. If Connectors Have A Gap Dissipate Signal. 64

65 About Fiber Optic Communication 65

66 Light - 1 Light Travels 186,000 Miles/Second In A Vacuum. The Speed Of Light Varies With The Density Of The Medium. Light Travels In A Straight Line As Long As It Is Moving Through A Single Substance. 66

67 Light - 2 Assume That A Ray Of Light Travel From Air [Less Dense] Into A Water [More Dense] The Speed Changes Abruptly. Refraction - The Change In The Light Angle 67

68 Light - 3 Refraction - The Change In The Light Angle A Beam Traveling From Less Dense Into More Dense Is Bent Toward The Vertical Axis. Vertical Axis Angle Of Incidence Angle Of Refraction AI > AR 68

69 Light 4 Angles Of Incidence/Refraction Refraction - The Change In The Light Angle A Beam Traveling From More Dense Into Less Dense Is Bent Away From The Vertical Axis. Vertical Axis Angle Of Refraction Angle Of Incidence AR > AI 69

70 Light 5 Critical Angle At Some Point The Change In The Incidence Angle Results In A Refracted Angle Of 90 Degrees. This Is Called The Critical Angle. 70

71 Light 6 Angle Of Reflection When The Angle Of Incidence Is Greater Than The Critical Angle, A Reflection Occurs. Light No Longer Passes Into The Less Dense Medium 71

72 Why Fiber? Use A Glass Rod? We could transmit through a high quality glass rod Why Use Fiber Optic Cable? Doesn t bend very well. Easily broken.. 72

73 Optical Fibers Use Reflection To Guide Light Through A Channel. Light 7 73

74 Fiber Optic Communication An Optical Fiber is a waveguide for light that consists of : Core : inner part where wave propagates Cladding: outer part used to keep wave in core Buffer: protective coating Jacket: outer protective shield 74

75 Fiber Optic Communication The Glass/Plastic Core Is Surrounded By Less Dense Glass/Plastic Cladding. The Idea Is For The Light To Reflect Off The Cladding & Remain In The Fiber Channel. Information Is Encoded On The Beam Of Light As A Series Of On-Off Flashes That Represent 0 s & 1 s. 75

76 Fiber Optic Communication (cont) Core Must Be Ultra-pure And Completely Regular In Shape & Size. Chemical Differences & Irregularities Ruin Reflections. Outer Jacket Teflon, Plastic, Metal Tubing, Metal Mesh, etc. Pros & Cons In Strength vs. Installation Ease. 76

77 Fiber Types 77

78 Fiber Type Sample Fiber Types Core (microns) Cladding (microns) 62.5/ / / /

79 Fiber Types Type Core Cladding Mode 50/ Multimode, graded-index 62.5/ Multimode, graded-index 100/ Multimode, graded-index 7/ Single-mode 79

80 Optical Fiber Performance 80

81 How Light Travels Through Fiber Propagation Modes 81

82 How Light Propagates/Travels Through Fiber 82

83 About Multimode Step-Index Fiber Step-Index Fibers obtain their name from this abrupt change, called the step change, in refractive index. In Step-Index Multimode Fiber, Light Travels In A Straight Line Until It Reaches The Interface Of The Core & The Cladding. Then It Changes Abruptly. Unfortunately Some Of The Beams Strike The Interface At An Angle Smaller Than The Critical Angle & Are Lost. This makes Multimode Fiber Inadequate For Precise Applications! Since Some Bounce More Than Others, The Sequence Changes And Must Be Recombined! 83

84 About Multimode Graded-Index Fiber In graded-index fibers, the refractive index of the core varies gradually as a function of radial distance from the fiber center. Index Refers To Index Of Refraction. Graded Fiber Refers To A Difference In Grades. Density Highest At Core. Density Lowest At Interface. A Horizontal Beam Straight Through The Core Would Be The Only Straight Line. Requires Careful Placement Of Receiver To Reconstruct Signals Accurately. The performance of multimode graded-index fibers is usually superior to multimode step-index fibers. 84

85 About Single Mode Fiber Graded Fiber Refers To A Difference In Grades. Density Highest At Core. Density Lowest At Interface. Is Less Dense Than Multimode! Highly Focused Beam Of Light Limit Beams To Small Range Of Angles All Close To Horizontal! Beams Do Not Have To Be Recombined! 85

86 Light Sources For Fiber Optic The Fiber Optic Receiving Device Must Have A Photosensitive Cell Called A Photodiode. The Fiber Optic Light Source Can Be Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Or An Injection Laser. LED s -Cheaper Unfocused Laser More Expensive Highly Focused 86

87 Fiber Pros & Cons 87

88 Advantages Of Fiber Optic Less Noise. Noise Is Not A Factor In Light. External Light Only Possible Interference This Blocked By Outer Jacket. Less Signal Attenuation Greater Distance Miles Without Regeneration. Much Higher Bandwidth 88

89 Disadvantages Of Fiber Optic Much More Expensive Materials Instillation, etc. Laser Light Source Can Cost Thousands Of Dollars Installation Requires Much More Training & Equipment Fragile - Glass Is More Easily Broken Than Wire. 89
