How Fiber Optics Work?
You hear about fiber-optic cables whenever people talk about the telephone system, the cable TV system or the Internet. Fiber-optic lines are strands of optically pure glass as thin as a human hair that carry digital information over long distances. They are also used in medical imaging and mechanical engineering inspection

Advantages of Fiber Optics
Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire.
Light signals - No interference with those of other fibers in the same cable.
Low power - Signals in optical fibers degrade less and need lower-power transmitters.
Light weight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Fiber-optic cables take up less space in the ground
Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.
Higher bandwidth – The information-carrying capacity of a fiber is greater that that id twisted-pair cable.
Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer networks.
Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is no fire hazard..

Fiber-Optic Communications
Optical Fiber
Conducts the light signals over a distance.
Optical Regenerator - May be necessary to boost the light signal (for long distances)
Transmitter Produces and encodes the light signals
Optical Receiver
Receives and decodes the light signals

Transmitter
The transmitter is like the sailor on the deck of the sending ship. It receives and directs the optical device to turn the light "on" and "off" in the correct sequence, thereby generating a light signal.
Produces and encodes the light signals.

Transmitter
Light Source
Lasers-narrow spectrum 1~3 nm, high speed Gb/s
LEDs-10BASE-FL LED 830 ~870 nm, low band width
VCSELs are faster, more efficient, and produce a smaller divergence beam than LEDs.
Wavelength (infrared, non-visible portions of the spectrum)
1,550 nm-high speed, long distance, single mode loss<1 dB/km
1,300 nm- single mode/multi mode(1.5 dB/km)
850 nm - multi mode loss 3.5 dB/km

Connector Ferrule Shapes & Polishes
Insertion loss is the loss of optical power contributed by adding a connector to a line.
Industrial & Optical Ethernet

Optical Regenerator
Signal loss occurs when the light is transmitted through the fiber,
especially over long distances
Optical Regenerators is spliced along the cable to boost the
degraded light signals.
Consists of optical fibers with a special coating (doping).
Regenerator is a laser amplifier for the incoming signal.

Optical Receiver
Optical receiver is like the sailor on the deck of the receiving ship.
Takes the incoming digital light signals, decodes them and sends the electrical signal to the other user's computer, TV or telephone (receiving ship's captain).
The receiver uses a photocell or photodiode to detect the light.

How Does an Optical Fiber Transmit Light?
Shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway
Total internal reflection.
Light signal degrades within the fiber
Signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light
850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km
1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km
1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km

What are Fiber Optics?
Core - Thin glass center of the fiber where the light travels.
Cladding - Outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into the core.
Buffer coating - Plastic coating that protects the fiber from damage and moisture.

Step Index Core v.s. Graded Index Core for Multi Mode
Step-index Fiber: Fiber that has a uniform index of refraction throughout the core that is a step below the index of refraction in the cladding
Graded-index Fiber: Optical fiber in which the refractive index of the core is in the form of a parabolic curve, decreasing toward the cladding

How Are Optical Fibers Made?
Optical fibers are made of extremely pure optical glass.
Making a preform glass cylinder
Drawing the fibers from the preform
Testing the fibers
Industrial & Optical Ethernet
www.lcsi.com.tw22
Making a preform glass cylinder
Oxygen is bubbled through solutions of silicon chloride (SiCl4), germanium chloride (GeCl4) and/or other chemicals.
Precise mixture governs the various physical and optical properties (index of refraction, coefficient of expansion, melting point, etc.).
The gas vapors are then conducted to the inside of a synthetic silica or quartz tube (cladding) in a special lathe
As the lathe turns, a torch is moved up and down the outside of the tube.
Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD)
Industrial & Optical Ethernet
www.lcsi.com.tw23
Making a preform glass cylinder
The silicon and germanium react with oxygen, forming silicon dioxide (SiO2) and germanium dioxide (GeO2)
The silicon dioxide and germanium dioxide deposit on the inside of the tube and fuse together to form glass.
The purity of the glass is maintained by using corrosion-resistant plastic in the gas delivery system (valve blocks, pipes, seals) and by precisely controlling the flow and composition of the mixture.

Drawing Fibers from the preform blank
Graphite furnace (1,900 to 2,200 Celsius)
Laser micrometer- Fibers are pulled from the blank at a rate of 33 to 66 ft/s (10 to 20 m/s)
measure the diameter of the fiber
feed the information back to the tractor

Testing the Finished Optical Fiber
Tensile strength - Must withstand 100,000 lb/in2 or more
Refractive index profile - Determine numerical aperture as well as screen for optical defects
Fiber geometry - Core diameter, cladding dimensions and coating diameter are uniform
Attenuation - Determine the extent that light signals of various wavelengths degrade over distance
Information carrying capacity (bandwidth) - Number of signals that can be carried at one time (multi-mode fibers)
Chromatic dispersion - Spread of various wavelengths of light through the core (important for bandwidth)
Operating temperature/humidity range
Temperature dependence of attenuation
Ability to conduct light underwater - Important for undersea cables
