HOW FIBRE WORKSThe operation of an Optical Fibre is based on the principle of Total Internal Reflection (TIR).

Light reflects or refracts (bends) depending on the angle at which it strikes a surface. This occurs because different interfaces between materials refract light in different ways.

MULTI MODE:Multi mode fiber was the first type of commercial fiber, which has larger core diameter (50 or 62.5nm) allowing multiple modes of light to propagate through the fiber simultaneously.

It is used primarily for short distances (<2KM) such as LAN communication, due to more loss and less bandwidth capacity.

SINGLE MODE:Single Mode fiber has a much smaller core (8-10nm) that allows only one mode of light at a time to propagate through the core.

This is widely used for all voice/data transmission applications over long distances and high capacities.

DEFINITIONmechanical device for joining two pieces of paper or film or magnetic tape or fibers

process of the permanent connection of two pieces of optical fibers is called Splicing

Splicing

TYPES OF SPLICING

Page 8: Optical fiber

MECHANICAL SPLICING bonding two fibers

together in an alignment structure

Transparent adhesive - e.g. epoxy resin Commonly used

groove - V-groove

TYPES OF SPLICING

Page 9: Optical fiber

FUSION SPLICING Fusing the two fibers

Flame heating sources - micro-plasma burners, oxy-

hydric micro-burners, electric arc..

Advantage - consistent and easily controlled

heat with adaptability

Possible drawback - weakening of fiber in the vicinity

of splice

COMPARISON

Mechanical splicing Fusion splicing

Reflection losses(-45 db to -55 db)

No reflection losses

Insertion loss(0.2 db)

Very low insertion loss(0.1 db to .15 db)

cost – high Comparatively less

Page 11: Optical fiber

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE FACTORS WHICH GIVES HIGH LOSS ???

1. Clean the fiber and the V-Grooves well to ensure that the external parametersare not affecting the splice loss.

2. View the splice parameters while splicing so that the cleave angle, view angle and geometry of the fiber can be verified.

3. Check whether the machine is okay.

TEST INSTRUMENTS

OTDR : Optical Time Domain Reflectometer -To detect faults/breaks in the FO links.

Optical Power Meter : To measure the optical power at the end of Fibre.

Optical Source : To send light source in to the Fibre for testing- Laser/LED.

• Single-ended measurement tool• Provides a detailed picture of section-by-section loss• Operates by sending a high-power pulse of light down the fiber and

measuring the light reflected back• Uses the time it takes for individual reflections to return to determine

the distance of each event• Measures/characterizes:

Fiber attenuationAttenuation example (new G.652.C fibers)

What is an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR)?

Page 15: Optical fiber

OTDR BASIC PRINCIPLES

OTDR Basic Principles An OTDR sends short pulses of light into a fiber. Light scattering occurs in the fiber due to discontinuities such as connectors, splices, bends, and faults. An OTDR then detects and analyzes the backscattered signals. The signal strength is measured for specific intervals of time and is used to characterize events.

The OTDR to calculate distances as follows:

Distance = c/n * t/2

c = speed of light in a vacuum (2.998 x 108 m/s)

t = time delay from the launch of the pulse to the reception of the pulse

n = index of refraction of the fiber under test (as specified by the manufacturer)

Page 16: Optical fiber

REFLECTOMETRY THEORY

• The OTDR launches short light pulses (from 5 ns to 20 µs)

• Measuring the difference between the launching time and the time of arrival of the returned signal, it determines the distance between the launching point and the event.

WHAT IS GIS :

Geographic information system (GIS): a computer-based information system that enables capture, modeling, storage, retrieval, sharing, manipulation, and presentation of geographically referenced data
