About Fiber Optic Communication

65

Light - 1

Light Travels 186,000 Miles/Second In A Vacuum.

The Speed Of Light Varies With The Density Of The

Medium.

Light Travels In A Straight Line As Long As It Is Moving

Through A Single Substance.

66

Light - 2

Assume That A Ray Of Light Travel From Air [Less Dense]

Into A Water [More Dense]

The Speed Changes Abruptly.

Refraction - The Change In The Light Angle

67

Light - 3

Refraction - The Change In The Light Angle

A Beam Traveling From Less Dense Into More Dense Is

Bent Toward The Vertical Axis.

Light – 5

Critical Angle

At Some Point The Change In The Incidence Angle Results

In A Refracted Angle Of 90 Degrees. This Is Called The

Critical Angle.

70

Light – 6

Angle Of Reflection

When The Angle Of Incidence Is Greater Than The Critical

Angle, A Reflection Occurs.

71

Light No Longer Passes Into The Less Dense Medium

Why Fiber? Use A Glass Rod?

We could transmit through a high quality glass rod – Why

Use Fiber Optic Cable?

72

Doesn’t bend very well.

Easily broken..

Light – 7

Optical Fibers Use

Reflection To Guide Light

Through A Channel.

73

Fiber Optic Communication

An Optical Fiber is a waveguide for light that consists of :

Core : inner part where wave propagates

Cladding: outer part used to keep wave in core

Buffer: protective coating

Jacket: outer protective shield

74

Fiber Optic Communication

The Glass/Plastic Core Is Surrounded By Less Dense

Glass/Plastic Cladding.

The Idea Is For The Light To Reflect Off The Cladding &

Remain In The Fiber Channel.

Information Is Encoded On The Beam Of Light As A Series

Of On-Off Flashes That Represent 0’s & 1’s.

75

Fiber Optic Communication (cont)

Core Must Be Ultra-pure And Completely Regular In Shape

& Size. Chemical Differences & Irregularities Ruin

Reflections.

Outer Jacket – Teflon, Plastic, Metal Tubing, Metal Mesh,

etc. – Pros & Cons In Strength vs. Installation Ease.

82How Light Propagates/Travels Through Fiber

About Multimode Step-Index Fiber

Step-Index Fibers obtain their name from this abrupt change,

called the step change, in refractive index.

In Step-Index Multimode Fiber, Light Travels In A Straight

Line Until It Reaches The Interface Of The Core & The

Cladding. Then It Changes Abruptly.

Unfortunately Some Of The Beams Strike The Interface At

An Angle Smaller Than The Critical Angle & Are Lost.

This makes Multimode Fiber Inadequate For Precise

Applications!

Since Some Bounce More Than Others, The Sequence

Changes And Must Be Recombined!

83

About Multimode Graded-Index Fiber

In graded-index fibers, the refractive index of the core varies

gradually as a function of radial distance from the fiber

center.

Index Refers To Index Of Refraction.

Graded Fiber Refers To A Difference In Grades. Density

Highest At Core. Density Lowest At Interface.

A Horizontal Beam Straight Through The Core Would Be

The Only Straight Line.

Requires Careful Placement Of Receiver To Reconstruct

Signals Accurately.

The performance of multimode graded-index fibers is usually

superior to multimode step-index fibers.

84

About Single Mode Fiber

Graded Fiber Refers To A Difference In Grades. Density

Highest At Core. Density Lowest At Interface. Is Less Dense

Than Multimode!

Highly Focused Beam Of Light Limit Beams To Small Range

Of Angles – All Close To Horizontal!

Beams Do Not Have To Be Recombined!

85

Light Sources For Fiber Optic

The Fiber Optic Receiving Device Must Have A

Photosensitive Cell Called A Photodiode.

The Fiber Optic Light Source Can Be Light-Emitting Diode

(LED) Or An Injection Laser.

LED’s -Cheaper – Unfocused

Laser – More Expensive – Highly Focused

86

Fiber

Pros & Cons

87

Advantages Of Fiber Optic

Less Noise. Noise Is Not A Factor In Light.

External Light Only Possible

Interference – This Blocked By Outer

Jacket.

Less Signal Attenuation – Greater

Distance – Miles Without Regeneration.

Much Higher Bandwidth

88

Disadvantages Of Fiber Optic

Much More Expensive – Materials Instillation, etc.

Laser Light Source – Can Cost Thousands Of Dollars

Installation Requires Much More Training & Equipment

Fragile - Glass Is More Easily Broken Than Wire.

Summary

154

155

Radio waves are used

for multicast

communications, such as

radio and television, and

paging systems.

Note:

156

Microwaves are used for

unicast communication such

as cellular telephones,

satellite networks, and

wireless LANs.

Note:

157

Infrared signals can be

used for short-range

communication in a closed

area using line-of-sight

propagation such as remote

controls.

Note:

The Network Administrator Must

Consider Many Things

158

When Comparing Media You Should Consider The Following

Cost : Materials + Installation

Speed : Maximum Number Bits/Second

Attenuation – Tendency Of Signal To Become

Weak/Distorted Over Distance

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Susceptibility Of

Medium To External Magnetic Energy Interference. (Snow :

Video & Static : Audio)

Security – Protection Against Eavesdropping
