When the information is to be conveyed over any distance, a communication system is usually required. Within a communication system, the information transfer is frequently achieved by superimposing or modulating the information on to an electromagnetic wave which acts as a carrier for the information signal. This modulated carrier is then transmitted to the required destination where it is received and the original information signal is obtained by demodulation. Sophisticated techniques have been developed for this process by using electromagnetic carrier waves operating at radio frequencies as well as microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. However, communication may also be achieved by using an electromagnetic carrier which is selected from the optical range of frequencies. Lesson 13 Optical Fiber Communications Text New word Notes Exercises Translation Vocabulary PART2 Lesson 13 Optical Fiber Communications Typical optical fiber communications system is shown in Fig.13-1. In this case, the information source provides an electrical signal to a transmitter comprising an electrical stage which drives an optical source to give modulation of the lightwave carrier. The optical source which provides the electrical-optical conversion may be either a semiconductor laser or light emitting diode (LED). The transmission medium consists of an optical fiber cable and the receiver consists of an optical detector which drives a further electrical stage and hence provides demodulation of the optical carrier. Photodiodes (p-n, p-i-n or avalanche) and, in some instances, phototransistor and photoconductors are utilized for the detection of the optical
