THE INTERACTION CHARACTERISTICS OF LIGHT 1.Reflection The amount of light reflected away from the surface. Two types of Reflections. Diffuse Reflection: The reflection from rough surface. Specular Reflection: The reflection from smooth surface. A good mirror is specular reflection source. According to law of reflection The angle of incidence = Angle of reflection www.bzupages.com
2. Absorption It describes the amount of light that is absorbed by the surface when it strikes. Absorption varies with different chemical substances. 3. Transmission The amount of electromagnetic radiations transmitted through a substance or media is called Transmission. The total of light transmitted towards a substance consists of some reflection, some absorption and some transmission. www.bzupages.com

Refraction As electromagnetic wave changes direction at the interface of two mediums, if the angle of incidence is not 90 then the index of refraction of light is the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction. The refractive index is the function or wavelength. The Snells law is n1/n2 = sinβ/ sinα When light moves from rare medium to denser medium it refracts towards normal and vice versa. www.bzupages.com
5.Total Internal Reflection If the light rays enter from optically denser medium to optically rare medium, it will move away from the normal. If the angle of incidence is increased so that the angle of refraction becomes 900 . The phenomena known as total internal reflection will occur ,if angle of incidence is further increased. The light instead of refracting will reflect internally. The phenomenon used in optical fibre communication/ propagation. www.bzupages.com

6.Polarization Light consists of two fields perpendicular to each other electric field and magnetic field. In normal light there are infinite number of perpendicular osculating planes propagated in the direction of travel of light. The light can be polarized by reflection and refraction. Example many people buy sunglasses that reduce reflection from wet roads effect due to sun. www.bzupages.com
TE(Transmittance of electrically polarized vector) If the field intensity of electrical vector remains unchanged and the field intensity of magnetic vector decreases, it is called TE polarized. TM(Transmittance of magnetically polarized vector) In which magnetic field intensity is unchanged and electric field intensity is minimized. www.bzupages.com

Cladding Core cladding boundary Normal Core Normal Core Core cladding boundary LIGHT PROPAGATION IN OPTICAL FIBRE Laser Light enters the fibre strikes the core cladding boundary, the angle of incidence is such that the light is totally reflected in to the fibre core due to difference of refractive indices of core & cladding on the principle of total internal reflection. The light travels in a core of single/ multi mode step index fibres in this manner until it reaches at the other end of the fibre. www.bzupages.com
Classification Of Optical Fibre - According to light propagation a. Single/ mono-mode b. Multimode According to refractive index (a)Step index fibre The refractive index of core is uniform and it undergoes abrupt change at the boundary of Core and Cladding. The light is propagated along fibre on the principle of total internal reflection. www.bzupages.com
(b) Graded index fibre The refractive index of the core is non uniform. It varies gradually along the radius of core. The light waves travel as sine waves along the core. • Types Of Propagation In Fibre • (a) Reflective type • Single mode step index • - Multi mode step index • (b) Refractive type • - Multi mode graded index www.bzupages.com

The Characteristics Of Single mode Step Index Fiber The single mode step index fibre has the characteristics of low attenuation, less dispersion, large bandwidth, low cost and Recommended by ITU.T for long distance optical transmission. www.bzupages.com
Types Of Single Mode Step Index Fibres. There are four types of single mode step index Optical Fibres recommended by ITU-T. G-652 It is single mode Non dispersion shifted fibre (NDSF) also called 1310nm property single mode fibre. The zero dispersion point is at 1310nm. It is used by PTCL. G-653 It is dispersion shifted fibre or 1550 nm property fibre. The zero dispersion point is shifted near to 1550 nm Optical window to minimize attenuation in this window and to achieve ultra high speed and ultra long distance for Optical transmission. It is also called dispersion shifted fibre (DSF). www.bzupages.com
G-654 It is cutoff wavelength shifted single mode fibre. This type of fibre is designed to reduce attenuation at 1550 nm window. Its zero dispersion point is still near 1310 nm window. It is mostly used for submarine Optical Fibre communication to achieve long regenerator distance. G-655 It is non zero dispersion shifted fibre (NZDSF). It preserves some dispersion near 1550nm window to avoid four wave mixing phenomenon. It is most suitable for DWDM applications for bit rates >2.5 Gb /sec . www.bzupages.com

TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS Modes Modes are possible route that light wave follow down in an optical fiber. One to hundred & even thousand of modes are transmitted N=V 2 Normalized Frequency (V) The number of modes that can pass through fibre core are dependant on normalized frequency. V= 2πa x √N12 - N22 λ 2 www.bzupages.com
Numerical Aperture This parameter describes the light gathering ability of fibre. The amount of optical power accepted by fibre. The sine value of acceptance angle is called Numerical Aperture sinβ = √N12 - N22 . www.bzupages.com

Mode Field Diameter It describes the radial propagation of fundamental mode. A core diameter and a portion of cladding is called MFD. The mode field diameter of G652 fibre at 1310 nm is 8.6 to 9.6µm. The MFD for G655 fibre at 1550 nm is 8 to 11µm with deviation less than 10%. It is a performance measure of fibre when coupled to light source. www.bzupages.com
Mode Field Concentricity Error The distance between the core centre and cladding centre divided by core diameter of the interconnected fibre. The connector loss is proportional to the square of the mode field concentricity error. The MFCE is used to reduce connector loss. The MFCE value should not exceed .5 in both G652 and G655 fibres. www.bzupages.com
Cut Of Wavelength The cutoff wavelength can guarantee single mode generation. In shortest cable to suppress the occurrence of higher order modes and to reduce power penalty. e.g. for G652 fibre the cut off wavelength <1260 nm for 2m cable, for G655 the cut off wavelength < 1480 nm for 2 m cable length. www.bzupages.com
