WHAT IS OPTICAL FIBER?
An optical fiber is a hair thin cylindrical fiber of glass or any transparent dielectric medium.
The fiber which are used for optical communication are wave guides made of transparent dielectrics.
Its function is to guide visible and infrared light over long distances.

STRUCTURE OF OPTICAL FIBER
![Page 6: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Core – central tube of very thin size made up of optically transparent dielectric medium and carries the light form transmitter to receiver. The core diameter can vary from about 5um to 100 um.
Cladding – outer optical material surrounding the core having reflecting index lower than core. It helps to keep the light within the core throughout the phenomena of total internal reflection.
Buffer Coating – plastic coating that protects
the fiber made of silicon rubber. The typical diameter of fiber after coating is 250-300 um.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
Total Internal Reflection
When a ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium such that the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, the ray reflects back into the same medium this phenomena is called total internal reflection.
In the optical fiber the rays undergo repeated total number of reflections until it emerges out of the other end of the fiber, even if the fiber is bent.

TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION IN OPTICAL FIBER
![Page 12: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF OPTICAL FIBER
Optical fiber is classified into two categoriesbased on :-
1) The number of modes, and
2) The refractive index
![Page 13: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
On the basis of number of modes:-
On the basis of number of modes of propagation the opticalfiber are classified into two types:
(i) Single mode fiber (SMF)
(ii) Multi-mode fiber (MMF)
Single-mode fibers – in single mode fiber only one modecan propagate through the fiber. This type of fiber has smallcore diameter(5um) and high cladding diameter(70um) andthe difference between the refractive index of core andcladding is very small. There is no dispersion i.e. nodegradation of signal during travelling through the fiber.
The light is passed through the single mode fiber throughlaser diode.
![Page 14: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Multi-mode fiber
Multi mode fiber allows a large number of modes for thelight ray travelling through it.
The core diameter is (40um) and that of claddingis(70um)
The relative refractive index difference is also larger thansingle mode fiber.
There is signal degradation due to multimode dispersion.
They are not suitable for long distance communicationdue to large dispersion and attenuation of the signal.

REFRACTION AT A PLANE SURFACE
![Page 16: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Refraction
Refraction is the changing direction of light when it goes into a material of different
density
![Page 17: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ON THE BASIS OF REFRACTIVE INDEX
There are two types of optical fiber:-
(i) Step-index optical fiber
(ii) Graded-index optical fiber
Step
![Page 18: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
STEP INDEX FIBER
The refractive index of core is constant
The refractive index of cladding is also constant
The light rays propagate through it in the form ofmeridiognal rays which cross the fiber axis during everyreflection at the core cladding boundary.
![Page 19: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
GRADED INDEX FIBER
In this type of fiber core has a non uniform refractiveindex that gradually decrease from the centre towards thecore cladding interface.
The cladding has a uniform refractive index.
The light rays propagate through it in the form of skewrays or helical rays. They do not cross the fiber axis at anytime.

HOW OPTICAL FIBER’S ARE MADE??
Three Steps are Involved in the manufacturing of theoptical fiber which are given below:-
-Making a Preform Glass Cylinder
-Drawing the Fiber’s from the preform
-Testing the Fibre

Information source- it provides an electrical signal toa transmitter comprising an electrical stage.
Electrical transmitter- It drives an optical source togive an modulation of the light wave carrier.
Optical source- It provides the electrical-opticalconversion .It may be a semiconductor laser or anLED.
![Page 24: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Optical cable: It serves as transmission medium.
Optical detector: It is responsible for optical toelectrical conversion of data and hence responsible fordemodulation of the optical carrier. It may be aphotodiodes, phototransistor, and photoconductors.
Electrical receiver: It is used for electricalinterfacing at the receiver end of the optical link andto perform the signal processing electrically.
Destination: It is the final point at which we receivethe information in the form of electrical signal.

ATTENUATION
Attenuation is the loss of the optical power.
Attenuation in optical fiber take place due to elementslike coupler, splices, connector and fiber itself.
A fiber lower attenuation will allow more power toreach a receiver than with a higher attenuation.
Attenuation may be categorised as –
(i) Intrinsic
(ii) Extrinsic

VARIATION OF SPECIFIC ATTENUATION WITH WAVELENGTH
![Page 28: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ATTENUATION & WAVELENGTH
• The specific attenuation ( power loss in dB per unit length ) actually depends on the wavelength of the radiation travelling along the optic fibre
• The graph shows minima at 1310nm and 1550nm, which implies that these are desirable wavelengths for optimal transmission
• These are infra red wavelengths
![Page 29: Gandhinagar institute of technology optical fiber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050806/58eeb9051a28abc1378b45cf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ADVANTAGE OF OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATION
1) The life of fiber is longer than copper wire
2) Handling and installation costs of optical fiber is very nominal
3) It is unaffected with electromagnetic interference
4) Attenuation in optical fiber is lower than coaxial cable ortwisted pair.
5) There is no necessity of additional equipment for protectingagainst grounding and voltage problems.
6) As it does not radiates energy any antenna or detector cannotdetects it hence provides signal security

DISADVANTAGE
1) Highly skilled staff would be required for maintenance
2) Only point to point working is possible on optical fiber
3) Precise and costly instruments would be required
4) Costly if under utilized.
5) Accept unipolar codes only.
6) Jointing of fiber and splicing is also time consuming.
