    OPTICAL FIBER AND COMMUNICATION

    Presented by ,

    Anjali Yadav Shivangi Vishwakarma


     What is optical fiber communication

     A communication system that uses light as the carrier of


    information from a source to a destination through a
    guided fiber cable (glass or plastic) is called an optical
    fiber communication system.

     A fiber Optic Communication System uses lightwave


    technology to transmit the data over fiber by changing
    electronic signals into light.
     How optical fiber communication works ?
     Applications of optical fiber communication

     Medical industry

     Defence

     Data Storage

     communication

     Optical fiber sensors


     Advantages of optical fiber communication

     Bigger bandwidth

     Longer distance

     Faster speed

     Secured communication

     No Power loss
     Disadvantages of optical fiber communication

     High initial cost

     Maintenance and repairing cost

     Jointing and test procedures

     Tensile stress

     Fiber losses
     Components of Optical Fiber

    1. Compact Light Source


    Depending on the applications like local area networks and long-haul communication systems, the
    light source requirements vary. The requirements of the sources include power, speed, spectral
    linewidth, noise, ruggedness, cost, temperature, and so on. Two components are used as light
    sources: light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes.

    2. Low Loss Optical Fiber


    Optical fiber is a cable, which is also known as a cylindrical dielectric waveguide made of low-loss
    material. Optical fiber also considers the parameters like the environment in which it is operating, the
    tensile strength, durability, and rigidity.

    3. Photo Detectors
    The purpose of photodetectors is to convert the light signal back to an electrical signal. Two types
    of photodetectors are mainly used for optical receivers in optical communication systems: PN
    photodiode and avalanche photodiode. Depending on the application’s wavelengths, the material
    composition of these devices vary.
     Type of optical fiber

    Single-Mode Fibers: Single-mode fibers are used to


    transmit one signal per fiber; these fibers are used in
    telephone and television sets. Single-mode fibers have
    small cores.

    Multi-Mode Fibers: Multimode fibers are used to


    transmit many signals per fiber; these signals are used in
    computer and local area networks that have larger cores.
