![Page 7: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Explanation:
A LASER beam of 10cm in diameter whenbeamed at the moon’s surface 3,84,000km away is not more than 5km wide.
![Page 8: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
High Monochromatic
Explanation:
A LASER produces strictly a single wavelength of light.
i.e. The line width associated with laser beams are extremely narrow.
![Page 9: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
High Intensity
Explanation:LASER is highly intense than an ordinary light.Hence, it is used in welding (or) cutting the hard substances which involve reaching high temperatures.
Note: Due to the above reason LASER is called as a material less knife
![Page 10: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
High Coherence
Explanation:LASER is highly coherence, even we usetwo independent sources of lasers we get interference pattern.
Note: Coherence pattern can explain in two ways.
![Page 11: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Temporal coherence Coherence property can be explain w.r.t. time is known as temporal coherence.
Example:An ordinary light temporal coherence is ≈ 10 - 9 Sec, Where as He-Ne gas laser is 2x10 - 3 Sec.
![Page 12: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Spatial coherence
Coherence property can be explain w.r.t. distance is known as spatial coherence.
Example:An ordinary light spatial coherence is only 3cm, Where as He-Ne gas laser is about 600km.
![Page 13: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conditions to achieve LASER action There must be stimulated emission of radiation.
There must be a population inversion. There must be an arrangement to get multiple reflections without any reflection losses. (This is true in certain lasers only)

Einstein quantum theory of radiationAccording to Einstein, if radiation at a frequency corresponding to the energy difference (E2-E1) fallson the atomic system it can be interact in three distinct ways. As…..
Absorption Spontaneous Emission Stimulated Emission
![Page 15: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AbsorptionWhen a photon of energy (hѴ = E2 -E1 ) interacts with an electron, the photon will disappear and an electron will move to the upper energy state.
This process is called as absorption.
![Page 16: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Explanation:E2
E1
Absorption
Note:The absorption rate will be proportional to the number of electrons present in that state.
hѴ

Spontaneous EmissionAn electron is in its upper state and no radiation is present, then after certain mean time an electron moves of its own to the lower energy state emitting a photon of energy in this process.
This process is called as spontaneous emission.
![Page 18: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Explanation:E2
E1
Spontaneous emission
Note:This emission was happened because not triggered by any outside influence.

Stimulated EmissionAn electron makes a transition from E2 to E1 a radiation whose photon’s energy equal to (E2 – E1 ) is incident on the excitedelectron and stimulates it to emit radiation. Then the electron moves to its lower energy state and there are now two photons, called stimulated emission.
This process is called as stimulated emission.
![Page 20: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Explanation:E2

Stimulated emission
Note:This emission was happened because due to by the external triggering.

Conclusion: The emitted photon in stimulated process is in every way identical to the triggered photon.
i.e. the emitted photon has same in energy, direction & phase with triggered photon.
This process is very important to achieve the laser beam.
![Page 22: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Metastable state:It is the excited energy state of an atomic system whose life time of the electron in that state will be very large is called metastable state.
Explanation:According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle,
∆E . ∆t > h/4π-(OR)
∆t α 1/∆E – (1)
![Page 23: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
∆E – width of the energy level where,
∆t – life time of the electrons in that state
Note: From eq(1) we can say that, the life time of the electrons in the metastable state will be very large due to narrow energy level & hence can easily achieve the population inversion.
i.e. For ordinary state -- 10 - 8 S ≈ 10 – 9 S (1 nano sec) For meta stable state -- 10 - 3 S (1 mill sec)
![Page 24: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Population inversion( N2 > N1 )The state of the atomic system at which the number of electrons in the higher (OR) excited state is more than the number of electrons in the lower state (OR) ground state is called the population inversion.
Note: Population inversion can be achieved by pumping of electrons from lower energy level to higher energy level in the metastable state.
![Page 25: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Difference between Spontaneous Emission & stimulated emission(Normal light & Laser)
Stimulated Spontaneous Emission of light photon takes place immediately without any inducement.
Emission of a light photon is by inducement of a photon having energy equal to the emitted photon energy.
Polychromatic radiation. Strictly monochromatic radiation. Incoherent radiation High coherent radiation Less directional High directional Less intense High intense More angular spread Less angular spread

Homo - JunctionA PN-junction is formed by a single crystalline material such that the basic material has been the same on both sides of the junction iscalled homo-junction.
( Direct recombination takes place in between electron & hole )
Drawbacks Threshold current density is very large Only pulse mode output is obtained Output has large beam divergence Poor coherent & stability Electromagnetic field confinement is poor

Hetero - JunctionThe material on one side of the junction differs from that on the other side of the junction is called hetero-junction.
( Direct recombination of electron & hole is not possible )
Advantages Low threshold current density Output is continuous High output power Narrow beam, high coherent, monochromotic & stable Long life time of the device

Theory:From figure the number of absorptions/unit time/unit volume can be expressed as
N1 B12 u(ω) --- (1)Where,
B12 – proportional constant
u(ω) – radiant energy/unit volume
The rate of spontaneous emission represents as

Similarly the rate of stimulated emission represented as

Ruby laser
Ruby is a crystal of Al2O3(Corundum)with Cr2O3 .
It was the first laser demonstrated by T.Maiman in 1960.
(i.e. In Ruby some of Al +3 atoms have been replaced with 0.05% Cr +3 ions ) Finally, Ruby is a single crystal of Al2O3 with 0.05% of chromium(doped).
Colour of the Ruby laser depends on the proportion of Cr +3 ions.

A photon of λ = 6000 0A (green) on absorption excites chromium atom from the ground level to the E1 level.
A photon of λ = 4000 0A (blue) can take an atom from the ground level to the exited level E2 .
In meta stable state the life time of the carriers are 105 times more than E1 & E2 levels.
Since the meta stable state has very long life, the number of charges in this state keeps increasing & the population inversion from ground state to meta stable is achieved.
![Page 42: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The lasing action is triggered by the spontaneously emitted photons. This results in stimulated emission of other identical photons & an output is in pulse form of wavelength 69430A.

When an electric discharge is set up in the tube collisions between the electrons and ions raise the He atoms to the levels F2 & F3 are meta stable states. Ne has two meta stable states E4 & E6 at nearly the same energy levels as F2 & F3. He atoms excite them to levels E4 & E6 . Thus the population inversion is achieved. Spontaneous emission photon triggers laser action in any of the three transitions shown in above figure.

This photon travels through the gas mixture and it reflects by the mirror ends until it stimulates excited Ne atoms. The Ne atoms then drop down from the laser levels to the level E2 through spontaneous emission.
From the level E2 , the Neon atoms are brought back to the ground state through collisions with the walls. The transition emit radiation laser beam of 6328 0A wavelength.
Wavelengths of 3.39 μm & 1.15 μm are in the invisible region

Tube is filled with a mixture of CO2 , Nitrogen & Helium gases in the ratio of 1:2:3 respectively.
It made up of long , narrow, cylindrically shaped gas discharge tube as shown in figure, with a 2.5 diameter & length of about 5meter
CO2 molecule consists of a central atom with two oxygen atoms attached one on either side. CO2 molecule has three independent vibration oscillations already we discussed earlier.
![Page 58: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Nitrogen helps to increase the population of atoms in the upper level of CO2 , while helium helps to depopulate the atoms in the lower level of CO2 & also to cool the discharge tube.
The discharge is produced by D.C. excitation.
At the ends of the tube sodium chloride Brewster windows are placed & silicon mirrors coated with aluminum for proper reflection.
The output power can be increased by increasing the diameter of the tube.

When a discharge is passed through the tube, the nitrogen molecules are excited and are raised to higher excited state.
The excited energy of nitrogen molecules is transferred to carbon-dioxide molecules through collisions and carbon-dioxide molecules are raised to their excited vibrational energy level E5 (001) from their ground state.
The energy level ‘E5’ is a metastable state energy level. Hence there is population inversion.
![Page 61: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Stimulating photons of wavelength 10.6 μm and 9.6 μm induce the CO2 molecules to undergo stimulated emission by laser transitions from E5 to E4 giving laser wavelength of 10.6 μm and from E5 to E3 , wavelength of 9.6 μm.
Since the laser transition from E5 to E4 has higher gain than from E5 to E3 , the laser usually oscillates at 10.6 μm.
The CO2 molecules from E4 and E3 are returned to their ground through fast decay and diffusion.

The active medium is a PN- junction diode made from a single crystalline material.
i.e. Gallium Arsenide in which P-region is doped with germanium & N-type with Tellurium.
The refractive index of GaAs is high, hence it acts as optical resonator so that the external mirrors are not needed. .

Semiconductor laser diode works similar to LED except here stimulated process takes place.
Laser diode is very highly doped, when it is in forward biased electrons & holes flow from P-side & N-side respectively. Then in the junction region both electrons & holes are in high concentrations, which means the population inversion.(direct conversion)
( i.e. Excess population can be maintained by carrier injection, the pumping source being the current passing through the semiconductor )

When a single electron moves from the conduction band to valence band it releases energy as a photon.
This photon stimulates another electron to fall into the valence band producing a second photon by stimulated emission.
The minimum current necessary to start stimulated emission is called the Threshold current.
![Page 69: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Note: Threshold current is not for doping, it is for a electron coming from higher energy level to lower energy level.
To achieve threshold current, opposite faces of the PN- junction must be flat and parallel.

Principle:
Total internal reflection
Total internal reflection takes place due to following conditions
Light should travel from denser medium to rarer medium
The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle(ѲC ) of the medium.
![Page 79: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Critical Angle( ѲC )
The value of the incident angle of the medium at which the angle of refraction is 900 is called as the critical angle.

Applying the Snell’s law in figure-2 (i = ѲC ), we get,
n1 sin Ѳ1 = n2 sin Ѳ2 n1 sin Ѳc = n2 sin 900
Since, Ѳ1 = Ѳc & Ѳ2 = 900 Therefore,
Ѳc = sin-1 (n2 /n1 ) sin Ѳc = n2 / n1
Since, n1 – refractive index of denser medium n2 – refractive index of rarer medium Ѳc - critical angle

Core(n1)A typical glass fiber consists of a central coreglass whose thickness is order of 50μm.
Actually, the light is propagated through this core.
Cladding(n2)Core is surrounded by a cladding made of a glass of slightly lower refractive index than core’s refractive index.

![Page 84: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Note: Cladding is formed by the addition of small amount
of boron, germanium (or) phosphorus in the outer layer to decrease the refractive index.
Cladding is necessary to provide proper light guidance. i.e. to retain the light wave with in the core.
Cladding provides high mechanical strength and safety to the core from scratches..
The overall diameter of core & cladding is about 125 to 200 μm.
![Page 85: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Protective jacket
It is made up of plastic which protects the fiber from moisture & abrasion, also provides necessary toughness & tensile strength.
So that the fiber optic cable with stands without any brittleness during hard pulling, bending, stretching (or) rolling even though the fiber is made from brittle glass (or) silica glass(Sio2).

Acceptance Angle( Ѳ0 )The maximum angle of the fiber with a light ray can enter into the fiber and still goes under total internal reflection.Note:The core is referred as acceptance cone.

Theory:Let n0 is the refractive index of the surrounding medium, then applying the Snell’s law at point O in the above figure. we get,
n0 sin Ѳ0 = n1 sin Ѳ1
sin Ѳ0 = n1 / n0 sin Ѳ1

In the above figure at point B angle of incidence = (900 - Ѳ1 )
Applying the Snell’s law, we get,
n1 sin (900 – Ѳ1 ) = n2 sin 900

cosѲ1 = n2 / n1 (2)
Substituting eq(2) in eq(1), we get,

Properties of step index fiber
The refractive index is uniform through the core & cladding, but core’s refractive index is slightly more than the cladding refractive index.
This results in a sudden increase in the value of refractive index from cladding to core. Thus its refractive index profile takes the shape of a step.
![Page 96: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

The light rays are propagating in the form of meridional rays , which will cross the fiber axis during every reflection at the core – cladding boundary & propagating in a zig – zag manner.
In multimode step index fiber the different incident angle rays travel different distances. Hence, high angle rays arrive latter than the low angle rays. So the signal pulses are broadened out & distortion takes place.
But this distortion does not take place in single mode step index fiber.

Properties of Graded index fiber The refractive index of the core is made to vary in the parabolic manner such that the maximum refractive index is present at the center of the core.
Cladding refractive index is constant. But the core refractive index is maximum along the axis & decreases parabolically towards the cladding interface, till it attains a constant value. Hence, according to Snell’s law a ray entering into the fiber, it bends away from the normal. Because the continuously lowering refractive index of the core.

The light rays are propagating in the form of helical rays , which will not cross the axis at any time & are propagating around the fiber axis in a helical (OR) spiral manner.
Signal distortion is very low because of self focusing effect. Here the light rays travel at different speeds in different paths of the fiber because the refractive index varies through out the fiber.
![Page 103: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
As a result light rays near the outer edge travel faster than the light rays near the center of the core.
In effect light rays are continuously refocused as they travel down the fiber and almost all the rays reach the exit end of the fiber at the same time due to the helical path of the light propagation. Hence, the distortion is less in this fiber.
![Page 104: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Attenuation in optical fiber
Attenuation is the loss of power of the light signal that occurs during its propagation through the fiber. Attenuation mechanisms are 3 types. Absorption Scattering Radiative losses
![Page 105: UNIT - V. (Angular spread 10 micro radians)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649da25503460f94a8f0e2/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Absorption: Absorption of light during propagation occurs due to the impurities present & imperfections in the fiber material. Scattering: In fiber the disorder structure of glass will make some variations in the refractive index inside the fiber. As a result if light is passed through the atoms in the fiber, a portion of the light is scattered known as Rayleigh scattering.

An optical fiber communication link consists of three important parts.
Transmitter
Optical fiber
Receiver

Transmitter
Transmitter consists of a light source usually laser diode (OR) LED along with its associated drive circuit . Transmitter receives electric input signal in the form of digital pulses from encoder & converts them into optical pulses.
The electrical pulses modulate the intensity of the light source.

Optical fiber
Optical fiber acts as the wave guide to transmit the optical pulses towards the receiver.

Receiver
The photo detector in the receiver end receives the optical pulses from the fiber & converts them into electrical pulses. The photo detector can be either an avalanche photo diode(APD) OR a positive-intrinsic- negative(PIN) diode.
An amplifier amplifies the received signal. Thus the original electrical signal is obtained.
