An optical fiber is a hair thin cylindrical fiber of glass or any transparent dielectric medium.
The fiber which are used for optical communication are wave guides made of transparent dielectrics.
Its function is to guide visible and infrared light over long distances.
Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms anelectromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.
Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals.
The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps: Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.
Optical cable: It serves as transmission medium.
Optical detector: It is responsible for optical to electrical conversion of data and hence responsible for demodulation of the optical carrier. It may be a photodiodes, phototransistor, and photoconductors.
Electrical receiver: It is used for electrical interfacing at the receiver end of the optical link and to perform the signal processing electrically.
Destination: It is the final point at which we receive the information in the form of electrical signal.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

3. Evolution of optical fiber
• 1880 – Alexander Graham Bell
• 1930 – Patents on tubing
• 1950 – Patent for two-layer glass wave-guide
• 1960 – Laser first used as light source
• 1965 – High loss of light discovered
• 1970s – Refining of manufacturing process
• 1980s – OF technology becomes backbone of long
distance telephone networks in NA.
4. What is optical Fiber?
• An optical fiber is a hair thin cylindrical fiber of
glass or any transparent dielectric medium.
• The fiber which are used for optical
communication are wave guides made of
transparent dielectrics.
• Its function is to guide visible and infrared
light over long distances.
6. • Core – central tube of very thin size made up of
optically transparent dielectric medium and carries
the light form transmitter to receiver. The core
diameter can vary from about 5um to 100 um.
• Cladding – outer optical material surrounding the
core having reflecting index lower than core. It
helps to keep the light within the core throughout
the phenomena of total internal reflection.
• Buffer Coating – plastic coating that protects
the fiber made of silicon rubber. The typical
diameter of fiber after coating is 250-300 um.
7. 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.
10. Classification of optical fiber
• Optical fiber is classified into two categories
based on :-
1) The number of modes, and
2) The refractive index
11. On the basis of number of modes:-
on the basis of number of modes of propagation the optical
fiber are classified into two types:
(i) Single mode fiber (SMF) and
(ii) Multi-mode fiber (MMF)
• Single-mode fibers – in single mode fiber only one mode
can propagate through the fiber. This type of fiber has
small core diameter(5um) and high cladding
diameter(70um) and the difference between the refractive
index of core and cladding is very small. There is no
dispersion i.e. no degradation of signal during travelling
through the fiber.
• The light is passed through the single mode fiber through
laser diode.
12. • Multi-mode fiber :-
• Multi mode fiber allows a large number of modes
for the light ray travelling through it.
• The core diameter is (40um) and that of cladding
is(70um)
• The relative refractive index difference is also larger
than single mode fiber.
• There is signal degradation due to multimode
dispersion.
• They are not suitable for long distance
communication due to large dispersion and
attenuation of the signal.
15. On the basis of Refractive index
• There are two types of optical fiber:-
• (i) Step-index optical fiber
• (ii) Graded-index optical fiber
• Step
16. Step index fiber
• The refractive index of core is constant
• The refractive index of cladding is also constant
• The light rays propagate through it in the form of
meridiognal rays which cross the fiber axis during
every reflection at the core cladding boundary.
17. Graded Index fiber
• In this type of fiber core has a non uniform
refractive index that gradually decrease from the
centre towards the core cladding interface.
• The cladding has a uniform refractive index.
• The light rays propagate through it in the form of
skew rays or helical rays. They do not cross the fiber
axis at any time.

19. How Optical Fiber’s are made??
• Three Steps are Involved in the manufacturing
of the optical fiber which are given below:-
-Making a Preform Glass Cylinder
-Drawing the Fiber’s from the preform
-Testing the Fibre
21. • Information source- it provides an electrical
signal to a transmitter comprising an electrical
stage.
• Electrical transmitter- It drives an optical
source to give an modulation of the light wave
carrier.
• Optical source- It provides the electrical-optical
conversion .It may be a semiconductor laser or
an LED.
22. • Optical cable: It serves as transmission medium.
• Optical detector: It is responsible for optical to
electrical conversion of data and hence
responsible for demodulation of the optical
carrier. It may be a photodiodes, phototransistor,
and photoconductors.
• Electrical receiver: It is used for electrical
interfacing at the receiver end of the optical link
and to perform the signal processing electrically.
• Destination: It is the final point at which we
receive the information in the form of electrical
signal.
23. Attenuation
• Attenuation is the loss of the optical power.
• Attenuation in optical fiber take place due to
elements like coupler, splices, connector and
fiber itself.
• A fiber lower attenuation will allow more
power to reach a receiver than with a higher
attenuation.
• Attenuation may be categorised as –
(i) Intrinsic
(ii) Extrinsic
24. Factor causing attenuation in Fiber
• Fig. shows the factor affecting the attenuation
in fiber-
Attenuation
Intrinsic
Absorption Scattering
Extrinsic
Macrobending
Microbending
26. Attenuation & Wavelength
• The specific attenuation ( power loss in dB per
unit length ) actually depends on the
wavelength of the radiation travelling along
the optic fibre
• The graph shows minima at 1310nm and
1550nm, which implies that these are
desirable wavelengths for optimal
transmission
• These are infra red wavelengths
27. Advantage of optical fiber
communication
1) The life of fiber is longer than copper wire
2) Handling and installation costs of optical fiber is very
nominal
3) It is unaffected with electromagnetic interference
4) Attenuation in optical fiber is lower than coaxial cable
or twisted pair.
5) There is no necessity of additional equipment for
protecting against grounding and voltage problems.
6) As it does not radiates energy any antenna or detector
cannot detects it hence provides signal security
28. Disadvantage
1) Highly skilled staff would be required for
maintenance
2) Only point to point working is possible on
optical fiber
3) Precise and costly instruments would be required
4) Costly if under utilized.
5) Accept unipolar codes only.
6) Jointing of fiber and splicing is also time
consuming.
