Optical Transmission System Schematic of an optical fibre transmission system: Modulator / Transmitter (LED, laser diode, VCSEL (850 nm)) convert electrical signals into optical ones Fibre transport medium (e.g. optical fibre cable, splices, connectors etc.) Receiver / Demodulator (PIN Photodiode, Avalanche Photodiode convert optical signals into electrical ones Transmitter 3 Fibre with splices and connectors Receiver

Types of fibers Multi mode Fiber, Step Index Multi mode Fiber, Graded Index Properties: Multiple light paths (modes) of different length causing different modes to arrive at different time intervals which causes pulse broadening (Multimode Distortion or Modal Distortion) Bandwidth relatively small, low cost fiber Properties: The parabolic profile of the index results in continual refocusing of the rays in the core, and compensates for multimode distortion. Therefore we encounter less pulse broadening Bandwidth bigger, more expensive Single mode Fiber, Step Index Properties: The core diameter is reduced so that only one mode can exist (single mode). Therefore Single mode fibers don t introduce any pulse broadening witch enables higher bandwidth. Highest bandwidth 7

Attenuation Bending Loss: Last mentioned source of decrease of input- versus output-power are bending losses in the fiber caused by bending the fiber. When the angle of bend exceeds a certain degree the light waves will no longer be reflected in the core and enters the cladding of the fiber. We distinct two ways of bending, Macro bending and Micro bending. Macro Bending Micro Bending Force 13
Modal (Geometrical) Dispersion Superpositioning of modes with different delay times at the same wavelength Effect Broaden ligth pulses and loss in energy 2 A Limitation Bandwidth t 14

Applications Single Mode or Multimode Fiber Single Mode G.652.D (G.655/657) Multi Mode G. 651 Single mode optical fiber is ideal for long distance transmission. Wavelengths used for Single mode fiber are 1310nm, 1550 nm and 1625nm. The costs for a Single mode transmission system are relatively high (Laser). High Bandwidth Multimode fiber is not suited for long communication distance but well suited for communication over short distances (below 2km). Wavelengths used for Multimode are 850nm and 1300nm The cost for a Multimode transmission system are less expensive than single mode equipment (LED). (2-4 times less expensive) Lower Bandwidth than Single mode 16
