IntroductionOptical fiber is a long thin transparent dielectric materialwhich carries EM waves of visible and IR frequenciesfrom one end to the other end of the fiber by means ofTIR.NOTE: Glass or Plastic is used as Dielectric material.Optical fibers works as Wave guides in optical televisionsignals digital data to transmit voice television signalsdigital data to any desired distance from one end to theother end of the fiber.

Fiber Optics is a technology related totransportation of optical energy(light energy) inguiding media specifically glass fibers
It has become popular because of the following reasons:
1). Higher information carrying capacity.
2). Light in weight, small in size, low cost.
3). No hazards of short circuits and can safely used in
explosive environments.
4). No possibility of internal noise and cross talk
generation.
5). Using an optical fiber, 15,000 independent speeches can
be sent simultaneously where as using a pair of copper wires,
only 48 independent speech signals can be sent.

Optical fiber consists of three sections1. Core 2. Cladding 3. Protective Jacket
Core: It is an inner cylindrical material made up ofglass or plastic.Cladding: It is a cylindrical shell of glass or plastic material in whichCore is inserted.
Protective Jacket: The Cladding is enclosed in polyurethanejacket andit protects the fiber from surroundings.
NOTE: The RI of core is slightly greater than the RI of Cladding. Thenormal standard values are 1.48 and 1.46 respectively.

Principle: Optical fiber works on the principle of TIR. Once
light ray enters into core ,it propagates by means of multiple
TIR s at core-cladding interface.

Acceptance Angle
The maximum angle of incidence at the end face of
an Optical fiber for which the light ray can bepropagated along Core-Cladding interface is knownas maximum Acceptance angle. It is also called
Acceptance cone half angle.

Acceptance ConeRotating the Acceptance angle about the fiber axis
describes the Acceptance Cone of the fiber.Light launched at the fiber end within this Acceptance
Cone alone will be accepted and propagated to the other
end of the fiber by total internal reflection.

TYPES OF OPTICAL FIBRESOn the basis of variation of RI of core, the optical fibers
are mainly classified into following types. i.e.,
1.Step Index fiber 2.Gradex Index fiberNOTE: Based on Mode of propagation, the fibers arefurther divided into Single Mode and Multi Mode.

Single Mode Step Index fiber
The RI is constant for the core in this fiber. As we go radically from center
of the core, the RI undergoes a step change at core-cladding interface .
The core diameter of this fiber is about 8 to 10m and the outer diameter
of cladding is 60 to 70m.
There is only one path for light ray propagation. Hence it is called singlemode step index fiber.
It is a reflective fiber since light is transmitted from one end to the other
end of a fiber by TIR.
These are extensively used because distortion and transmission losses are
very less.

Multimode Step Index FiberThe construction of this fiber is similar to Single mode stepindex fiber but dimensions of Core and Cladding are muchlarger to have more number of paths for light propagation.The Core diameter varies from 50 to 200m and theCladding diameter varies from 100 to 250m.It is also a reflective fiber since light is propagated in theform of multiple TIRS.

As RI changes continuously radially in Core the light rayssuffers continuous refraction with in the Core from its centerto surface. Thus the propagation of light rays are not due to TIR butby refraction. Therefore it is called Refractive fiber. In this fiber the light rays travel at different speeds indifferent parts.Near the surface RI is least so the light rays travel fastercompared to the light rays near the axis. Because of this allthe rays almost arrive at the same time at the other end of thefiber.

1.Encoder: It converts electric signal corresponding toanalog information such as voice, figures, objects etcinto a binary data. This binary data comes out in the formof stream of electrical pulses.
2.TRANSMITTER: It mainly consists of drive circuit anda light source. Drive circuit supplies the electric pulses tothe light source from the encoder.
NOTE: LED or diode laser is used as light source and itconverts electrical signals are infected into opticalsignals. These optical signals are injected into waveguide.

Attenuation or Power loss in Optical fibers The power of the light at the out put end is found to bealways less than the power launched at the input end. Attenuation is found to be a function of fiber materialwavelength of light and length of the fiber and it ismeasured in terms of the decibel.
Attenuation mainly three types1.Scattering losses2.Absorption losses3.Bending losses
