Advanced Fibre Optics Aroon Pasricha And Gnanamohan Gnanasegaram Overview Introduction Composition of optical fibre Operation of the fibre optic system Advantages and disadvantages Analog and digital communication Two main types of cables Pulse Spreading Transmission Loss Interviews Conclusions Introduction Fibre optics is being used to transmit television, voice, and digital data signals by light waves over flexible hair like threads of glass and plastic. It has evolved into a system of great importance and use since the 1980’s. The advantages of fibre optics compared to coaxial cable or twisted pair cable, are endless. Millions of dollars are being spent to put light wave communication systems into operation, as a result of its performance. Composition of optical fibre Silica based glass or plastic filaments are spun and packed into bundles of several hundreds or thousands. Bundles may be put together as rods or ribbons and sheets. These bundles are flexible and can be twisted and contorted to conduct light and images around corners The thin glass center of the fibre where the light travels is called the “core”. The outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into the core is called the “cladding”. In order to protect the optical surface from moisture and damage, it is coated with a layer of buffer coating. Operation of the fibre optic system Light is ejected into the glass core at the correct angle and transmitted; it will reflect back repeatedly with internal reflections, even when the rod is curved. Light cannot escape from a fibre optics cable. A bundle of rods of fibres is capable of taking an image projected at one end of the bundle and reproducing it at the other end. Operation of the fibre optic system In a fibre optic system, there are a few major components to perform the task of communication. The Input Modulator is needed; this modulates the incoming signal with a light beam. A light emitting device i
