Overview
• Fiber optics is a medium for carrying information from one point to another in the form of light.
• Unlike the copper form of transmission, fiber
optics is not electrical in nature.
• A basic fiber optic system consists of a transmitting device that converts an electrical signal into a light signal
Lumbini Net Pvt. Ltd.
Fiber Optic Materials
Silica Fibers• Both core and cladding are of glass.• Very pure SiO2 or fused quartz.• Any other remaining impurities causes attenuation and scatteringPlastic Fibers•Plastic core and plastic cladding. •Flexible and Light.•Widely used in short distance applicationsPlastic-clad Fibers•Glass as core and plastic as cladding
Lumbini Net Pvt. Ltd.
Basic Construction of a Fiber Optic Cable
CoreThis is the physical medium that transports optical signals from an attached light
source to a receiving device. The core is a single continuous strand of high-purity glass or plastic whose diameter is measured in microns
CladdingThis is a thin layer that is extruded over the core and serves as the boundary that contains the light waves (more on this later), enabling data to travel through the length of the fiber.refraction index less than core
Lumbini Net Pvt. Ltd.
Basic Construction of a Fiber Optic Cable
Coating:This is a plastic coating over the cladding to reinforce the
fiber core, help absorb shocks, and provide extra protection against excessive cable bends. It does not have any effect on the optical waveguide properties, though.
Strengthening fibers:These components help protect the core against crushing
forces and excessive tension during installation.Cable jacket:This is the outer layer, or sheathing, of the cable

Total internal reflection
• phenomenon that happens when a propagating wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface

Advantage and Disadvantage
Advantage• Enormous potential bandwidth• Small size and weight• Electrical Isolation• Signal security• Low transmission loss• Potential low cost
Disadvantage• It requires a higher initial cost in installation• the connector and interfacing between the fiber optic costs a lot• requires specialized and sophisticated tools for maintenance and
repairing

Types of Optical Fiber Single Mode /Multimode
Single-mode fiber• has a small core(8 to 9 microns)
• Keeps the light signals going farther before they need to be beefed up, or amplified
• Used for long distance communication
• Transmit infrared laser light (wave length = 1310-
1650nm)
Lumbini Net Pvt. Ltd.
Types of Optical Fiber
Multimode fiber• Much larger core (50 or 62.5 microns )than
single-mode fiber.• gives light waves more room to bounce around
inside as they travel down the pathused for short distance communication• Transited infrared light (wave length = 850 –
1310nm ) from light emiting diodes (LEDs).

Attenuation
• The decrease in signal strength along a fiber optic waveguide caused by absorption and scattering is known as attenuation. Attenuation is usually expressed in dB/km.
• Due to attenuation, the power output (Pout) at the end of 1km of optical fiber drops to some fraction (k) of the input power (Pin) i.e. Pout = k.Pin (kless than 1).

Loss in 0ptical Fiber Communication
• Loss Inherent to FiberLight loss in a fiber that cannot be eliminated during the fabrication process is due to impurities in the glass and the absorption of light at the molecular level
Splice Loss:• Poor cleave • Misaligned fiber cores • Air gap • Contamination • Index-of-refraction mismatch • Core diameter mismatch

Loss in 0ptical Fiber Communication
Connector Loss:• Dirt or contaminants on the connector (very common) • Improper connector installation • Damaged connector faces • Poor cleave • Misaligned fiber cores • Index-of-refraction mismatch solved by index matching gelBend Loss:• Sharp curves of the fiber core • Displacements of a few millimeters or less, caused by buffer or jacket
imperfections • Poor installation practice Fresnel Reflection:
if the end of a fiber has any kind of air gap, then some of the light traveling from the air to the core, about 4%, is reflected back into the air instead of transmitting/refracting into the core

OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectmeter)
• OTDR is a measurement instrument for identifying optic fiber transmission features.
• OTDR sends out a light pulse into connected optic fiber, and receive reflections of events and backward scattering power of pulse in time.
Events• Events refer to any abnormal points causing
attenuation or sudden change of scattering power besides the normal scattering of optic fiber, which include all kinds of losses like bending, connections and ruptures.

Reflection Events
Reflection is primarily a problem with connectors but may also affect mechanical splice
Properly made fusion splices will have no reflection; a reflection peak indicates incomplete fusion or inclusion of an air bubble or other impurity in the splice
Lumbini Net Pvt. Ltd.
OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectmeter
• Non-reflection Events
• Non-reflection events happen at certain points where there is some optic loss but no light
scattering.
• When non-reflection event occurs, a power decline shows on trace.

OTDR
OTDR setup
• Range Length of optic fiber relevant to the trace• Pulse Width of laser pulse sending out from OTDR to optic fiber. With
narrow pulse width, there will be higher resolution and smaller dead zone, however, the dynamic range will be decreased
•
•• Average Time To select suitable testing time. in case of measurement of long-
distance optic fiber, long average time should be selected in order to review events at long-distance end
• Wave length To select laser wave length for measurement• Measurement Mode To select mode for measurement. Averaging and Real time
mode• VFL Power on or off visible• Length Units To select length units

Tools
• Optical power meter (OPM) used to measure the power in an optical signal. The term usually refers
to a device for testing average power in fiber optic systemsFiber Optic Fault Locator• used to locate the broken points of optical fiber, connector
