PROPAGATION OF
LIGHT IN AN OPTICAL
FIBER
1. Optical fiber is basically a solid
glass rod. The diameter of rod is
so small that it looks like a fiber.
2.Optical fiber is a dielectric
waveguide. The light travels like
an electromagnetic wave inside
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Total Internal Reflection
When a ray of light travels from a denser to a
rarer medium such that the angle of incidence
is greater than the critical angle, the ray
reflects back into the same medium this
phenomena is called total internal reflection.
In the optical fiber the rays undergo repeated
total number of reflections until it emerges out
of the other end of the fiber, even if the fiber is
bent.r is bent.f the fiber is bent.r is bent.
CRITICAL ANGLE, C
in (max) = sin-1
Where,
in (max) acceptance angle (degrees)
n1 refractive index of glass fiber core (1.5)
n2 refractive index of quartz fiber cladding ( 1.46 )
CLASSIFICATION OF OPTICAL
FIBER
Optical fiber is classified into two
categories based on :1) The number of modes, and
2) The refractive index
SINGLE-MODE FIBERS
MULTI-MODE FIBER
MULTI-MODE FIBER
REFRACTION
Refraction is the changing direction of light
when it goes into a material of different
density.
FIBER-OPTIC COMMUNICATION
The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves
the following basic steps:
Creating the optical signal using a transmitter,
relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal
does not become too distorted or weak,
and receiving the optical signal and converting it into an
electrical signal.
