1. Introduction
⢠Depending on medium process happens
â Reflection.
â Refraction: Travel through the medium.
⢠Law of Reflection (Snellâs Law).
⢠Optical Fiber Communication
â Optical - Light.
â Fiber - Non-conducting wave guide.
⢠Total Internal Reflection (TIR).
⢠K-FACTOR : An audio is coupled with laser by using the transistor in common collector
mode which acts as the impedance match hence laser light intensity follows the message
signal. 1Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere.
2. Reflection
⢠Medium should be opaque.
⢠Types:
â Specular reflection.
â Diffuse Reflection.
2Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere.
4. Law of Reflection
⢠Holds good for both rough and smooth
surface.
⢠Smooth Surface:
â Incident, reflected and normal to the surface all lie
in the same plane.
â Angle of reflection is equal to incidence angle.
⢠Rough Surface (diffuse reflection)
â If the incident wave falls on rough smooth the
reflected ray follows the different angle.
Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere. 4
5. Principle of TIR.
⢠This is the phenomenon which occurs when a
propagated wave strikes a medium boundary
at a angle larger than critical angle.
⢠Reflected light bends towards normal when
n2>n1. Because light travels at slower rate.
⢠Ex: Vehicles move at slower rate in traffic.

7. Sky color
⢠Is sky having color?
⢠If yes, which color?
Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere. 7
8. Conti.
⢠Scattering- blue color has low wavelength
(frequency is more). Red (wavelength is more)
⢠If wavelength is more it wonât come in contact
with small particles but travels for larger
distance. ( For stop red color is used)
⢠Ex: radio waves: penetrates the tree and
moves forward.

9. Photo-Diode
⢠It is used to convert the light into current
based on equipments requirements.
⢠Principle: When photon of energy > 1.1ev hit
the diode a electron-hole pair are created.
⢠If absorption occurred in P-N junction, hole
pairs are swept towards respective junction.

24. Wave Guide
ďIt is defined as the structure which is used to guide the EM waves and
confines the waves in parallel to the fiber axis.
ďOptical Wave Guide
oGuides the EM waves in Optical Spectrum.
oIn 1910 a Debye[Dih-bahy] proposed a theoretical arrangement
and after ten years it came into practical.
oThe arrangement was with core [1.5] and air. Interface loss is more.
oIn 1950 a new structure was proposed.
oRefractive index of core will be always higher than cladding.
12/23/2017 24Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
25. ďThe cladding is thick hence it reduces the radiation loss into air,
provides the mechanical strength to fiber.
ďThe interface loss is less because most of the time the light rays travels
in core area.
ďResearchers are concluded that sources with higher wavelength has
lesser loss.{Silica Wavelength is 1.1 to 1.6 um}
12/23/2017 25Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
26. Ray Theory Transmission
ďThe propagation of the light using Ray theory is based on the change on the refractive index
of the medium.
ďIt is the ratio of velocity of light in vacuum to medium.
ďIn denser medium the speed of light is less.
ďThe refraction occurs when light travels from rarer to denser or vice versa.
12/23/2017 26Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
27. Acceptance Angle
ďIt is defined as the angle of incidence of ray should be within the
conical half angle rest of the rays radiates out.
ďAll the rays entering the fiber wonât reach the end of fiber.
ďAcceptance angle is the geometrically provided shape(conical) within
which the specific waves undergoes TIR.
12/23/2017 27Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
28. ďThe angle of incidence of the rays whose angle is
more than half conical half angle doesnât undergo TIR.
ďThe half conical angle is the maximum angle
through which all the ways entered undergoes TIR.
This geometrical structure is called as aperture angle
for the fiber.
12/23/2017 28Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
29. Numerical Aperture
ďNumerical Aperture and refractive index of core, cladding and air are
related to each other by derivation.
ďThese rays are called as meridional rays (i.e. rays passes through the
axis of fiber and ray always hit the axis of core.)
12/23/2017 29Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
30. Skew Rays
ďUsually all rays propagate using axis of fiber in waveguide.
ďSkew rays is another type of communication in which light
rays follows the helical path to reach the destination.
ďThe analysis in the two dimensions seems difficult hence in
fig (b) it is clear that rays follows the helical path.
ďThe angle between projection of ray and radius of fiber core
during the time of reflection is given by Gamma.12/23/2017 30Dept. of EC&E, JIT, Davangere
31. ďThe point of ray coming out from the fiber is depending on number
of reflection it undergoes.
ďThe outputted ray is always uniform irrespective of the input (random)
ďThe acceptance angle of the fiber is found by defining the ray in the
two perpendicular plane.

ďDirectly the cladding is not involved in the communication but it reduces the
scattering loss and provides the mechanical strength to fiber.
ďBased on the refractive index of the medium the types of the fiber are
ďStep Index fiber: The refractive index of the core remains constant.
ďGraded Index fiber: The refractive index of the core varies with distance from
center of the fiber increase.
ďEvery type of fiber is further divided into single and multi-mode fiber.

ďDoping rare earth materials into normal glass gives new optical and
magnetic properties.
ďThese new material are capable to perform amplification, attenuation
and phase retardation on the light passing through it.
ďCommonly used materials for fiber lasers is erbium.
ďThe ionic concentration of the rare elements are less(0.005 to 0.05)
which causes non-linear efforts (Clustering efforts).
ďBy observing the spectra of material the optical source is chosen in
such a way that to emit the light in wavelength which excites the
electrons of material to higher state later a external photon used to

Photonic Crystal Fiber(PCF)
ď Earlier it was called as Holy fiber and later became Photonic Crystal
Fibers
ď The effective refractive index depends on pitch size and wavelength
of light.
ď Cladding contains air holes and in some PCF core contains air holes
which run along the entire length of the fiber.
ď Size and spacing (known as pitch ) of the hole in the structure and
the refractive index determine the light guiding characteristics of the
photonic crystal fibers

ďIn contrast to index guided fiber these have hallow core and
surrounded by cladding with air holes running along the
length.
ďAgain the diameter in the air hole is d and the pitch is A.
ďPrinciple of Photonic Band gap Fibers fiber is similar to the
role of periodic crystalline lattice in a semiconductor, which
blocks the electrons from occupying the band gap region.
ďIn Photonic Band gap Fibers fiber the hallow core acts as a
region in which the light can propagate.

load which determines the length of the fiber to be installed.
(Lorry axial load road are constructed)
ďIn copper cables they themselves are the load-bearing
structures and they can be elongated to about 20% without
fracture.
ďSteel wire has been used for reinforcing the electric cables

Editor's Notes
In this subject, the frequency range is provided within that a optical carrier frequency is provided along it the where message signal is superimposed.
The process reflection, refraction is going to happen if and only if there is change in refractive index of the medium.
Reflection is the change in the direction of the waveguide at the interface between two media. The wave return back to same medium.
Law of reflection is going to say the direction of the refracted rays.
OFC is the bridge which connects the two places.
TIR a special case reflection(critical angle).
Law of reflection provides the direction of the reflected rays.
N2 is denser hence particles are placed very tightly hence the speed of light decreases but frequency remains same.
Light hits the various faces of diamond; the light which comes out of hitting several cuts the diamonds shines.
Finger print is having structure; prism, LED and CCD(coupled charge device) or cmos camera, the CCD is going to invert the image ridges are black and space is white in color.
Lower wavelength is going to hit the small dust particles are spread all over the sky as compared to red. The red also undergo scattering but to lesser distance hence it is spread with less distance.
It provides the entire range of frequencies of EM waves.
Bandwidth means how many users can access the channel at a same time and should get the same speed

Formula for critical angle. Sin critical=n2/n1. reflected angle is 90 and degree incidence = critical angle
is generated in the Multimode fiber , attenuation and fluctuations in the distribution of optical energy. Power distribution to all the modes changes . Modal noise
Effects: during the fiber and connectors the power gets flucated hence SNR VALUE DECREASES.
