2 Agenda Optical fibre principle Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Optical Equipments Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS

3 Optical fibre principle Total reflection of light in the core: n core >n cladding Step-Index Fibre Glass cladding r Core n Graded-Index Fibre r n Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS

4 Modes in fibres Mode = Reflection angle in fibre Multimode fibre: Single-mode fibre: Single angle but several colours if wanted! Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS

5 Fibre types and applications Multimode: large core (62.5 µm) to propagate several modes. Used for LANs. Single-mode: small-core fiber (8-9 µm) through which only one mode will propagate. Used for large networks (500m- more than 1000 km). Plastic Optical Fibres (POF): applications in cars, lighting, medicine and Local Area Networks. Silica glass fibres: large networks, better propagation => our topic today. Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS

6 Optical Networking Pros Weak attenuation Large bandwidth Electromagnetic disturbances immunity Spectral multiplexing Advantages of implementation Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS

7 Signal losses Absorption: due to silica nature and OH -. Losses: cable curve, junctions, fibre inhomogeneousness. Dispersion: Chromatic: light speed depends on its wavelength. Signal pulse spreads out (λ= 1550 nm, Dt= 17 ps/nm/km) Intermodal: propagation duration depends on mode, i.e. the light reflection angle in the fibre. The smaller the angle, the shorter the duration. (for 1 km, between 2 extreme modes: 75 ns) PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion): polarization of electromagnetic signals change in function of physical characteristics of the fibre. Non-linear effects: at a high transfer rate, several wavelengths in a same fibre cause interferences. Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS

8 Attenuations in fibre α (db/km) 10 Rayleigh scattering Impurity influence (metal ions, OH-) Infra-red absorption λ (µm) Thursday, 20 October 2005 ATHENS
