Today, almost all of the wired and wireless communication is digital.Digital Communication offers following advantages over analog • High SNR • Easy Signal processing • Error detection and correction • Multiplexing • Cheaper circuitry • Easy detection of signal; we have to detect the presence(1) or absence of signal(0).
Modern electronic communication systems can be broadly classified into following types: • Optical Communication • Mobile Communication • Satellite Communication
Optical Communication AN OVERVIEW
Electrical Communication Optical Communication Structure of Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable
The spread of the use of Optical Communication through-out the world
Information Systems Evolution & What is it ? • Why there is Demand of Large bandwidth ? • Why Optical Fiber Technology ? • Optical Transmission fundamentals. • How to Explode the optical fiber bandwidth ? • Data rate requirements for high speed networks. • Optical Fiber Solutions for today’s Systems & Networks.
An Information Model Definition: Delivering information to an authorized user when it is needed, wherever it is needed i.e, regardless of the physical location of the user or of the information, and whatever form it is needed in a secure way.
Needs For Today’s Optical Systems Increase capacity of transmission (bit/sec). Minimize insertion loss (dB). Minimize polarization dependent loss (PDL). Minimize temperature dependence of the optical performance (a thermal solutions). Minimize component packaging size (integrability). Modularity of components is an advantage (versatility)
Trends • Internet: A Deriving force SOME ACTUAL FACTS • 12 Million email messages in next minute • 0.5 Million voice mail messages in next minute • 3.7 Million people log on the net today • Next 100 days, Internet traffic doubles • 100 Million additional internet users every year Data based on the survey at Bell Laboratories, USA in Nov., 2000. DEMAND FOR MORE BANDWIDTH ONLY SOLUTION IS OPTICAL COMMUNICATION
Capacity Growth of Optical Fiber Each Year Year Capacity (Gb/s) • 1980 0.1 • 1985 1 • 1990 3 • 1995 5 • 2000 100 (40 practically shown) • 2005 1,000 (If limitations due to Dispersion & Nonlinearities are overcome)
The optical world is approaching towards • 1. 50 THzTransmission Window • 1000Channel WDM • 100 Gb/sTDM • 1000 kmRepeater less transmission • If Nonlinearities can be controlled, transmission window will be 300THz
Bandwidth-What is it ? • Bandwidth is the a measure of information carrying capacity of a medium. • To the digital word, it is translated into a maximum bit rate at which signals can be sent without significant signal degradation • Fiber bandwidth is typically quoted in frequency and normalized to fiber length (MHz-Km) - As length increases bandwidth decreases • A fiber bandwidth is determined by its pulse spreading properties
Bandwidth-What is it ? • The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies of a band that can be passed by a transmission medium without undue distortion. • A term used to indicate the amount of transmission or processing capacity possessed by a system or specific location in a system (Usually a network system)
Eliminate the dangers found in areas of high lightning-strike

Introduction • The first practical scheme of optical communication, was invented by Alexander Grahm Bell, in 1880, the Photophone. • Photophone: Device in which speech can be transmitted on a beam of light, using mirrors & selenium detectors. • Present optical communication systems use Laser & Optical Fiber technologies. • Optical frequency is typically 1014 Hz, which can support wideband modulation. Compared to microwave frequencies 109 Hz, the optical career can offer 105 times more bandwidth.
Basics of Fiber Optic Communication • Fiber Optics is a revolutionary development that has changed the face of telecommunications around the world • Transmission of data as a light pulses through optical fiber (first converting electronic binary signals to light and then finally converting back to electronic signals) • Elements of Fiber Optics • Transmission • Light Source (such as Infrared LED converts pulses and sends into optical fiber) • 850 nm, 1300 nm • Low cost, easy to use • Used for multi mode fiber • Special edge emitting LEDs for single mode fiber
Basics of Fiber Optic Communication (Contd..) • Laser Source having properties • Coherence • Monochromaticity • Directionality • High Specific Intensity • 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1550 nm • Very high power output • Very high speed operation • Very expensive • Need specialized power supply & circuitry Reception • Photo detector converts back to electrical pulses • PIN DIODES • 850, 1300, 1550 nm • Low cost • APDs (Avalanche Photodiodes) • 850, 1300, 1500 nm • High sensitivity, can operate at very low power levels • expensive
Basics of Fiber Optic Communication (Contd..) • Propagation in Fiber • Light propagates by mans of total internal reflection. • Optical Fiber consists of two concentric layers • Core – inner layer • Cladding – outer layer • Refractive index of core is greater than cladding, necessary for total internal reflection • Light entering with acceptance angle propagates through fiber • Strikes core cladding interface > critical angle and gets reflected completely. • Zig-zags down lengthof core through repeated reflections. • Fairly lossless propagation through bends also. • Optical fiber • Multimode (Graded Index 50/125 & 62.5/125 ) • Single mode (8.7 /125 )

Basics of Fiber Optic Communication (Contd..) • Some practical disadvantages of FOC • Fiber is expensive • Connectors very expensive (due to degree of precision involved) • Connector installation time consuming & highly skilled operation • Joining (splicing) of fibers requires expensive equipment & skilled operators • Connections & joints are relatively lossy • Difficult to tap in & out (for bus architectures) need expensive couplers • Relatively careful handling required

Multimode Step Index Fiber • Core diameter range from 50-1000mm • Light propagate in many different ray paths, or modes, hence the name multimode • Index of refraction is same all across the core of the fiber • Bandwidth range 20-30 MHz
Multimode Graded Index Fiber • The index of refraction across the core is gradually changed from a maximum at the center to a minimum near the edges, hence the name “Graded Index” • Bandwidth ranges from 100MHz-Km to 1GHz-Km
