Fiber optic patch cable as the basic element of a network, transmits signals through strands of glass or plastic fiber. Fiber optic cables are available in multimode and single-mode fibers terminated with LC, SC, ST, LC, FC, MTRJ, E2000 connectors in simplex and duplex. The typical multimode fiber used in telecom or datacom applications has a core size of 50 or 62.5 microns. Single-mode fiber shrinks the core size down to 9 microns so that the light can only travel in one ray.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

receivers
There is need of increased span of transmission
There is need of increased bit rate-distance product
9. Modulator :

carrier source.
Carrier Source :
It generates the wave on which the information is
transmitted. This wave is called Carrier.

It feeds the power into the information channel. The
Channel Coupler design is an important part of fiber
system because of possibility of high losses.

14. Total Internal Reflection (TIR)
• Refractive index of core(n1) is higher than the
cladding(n2) n1>n2
• When a ray of light strikes the boundary at an angle
greater than critical angle it gets reflected and no light
passes through Fiber Optic Cables | Group
15. Single Mode Fibre
• Carries light pulses along single path. Only the lowest
order mode (fundamental mode) can propagate in the
fiber and all higher order modes are under cut-off
condition (non-propagating) .
• Uses Laser Light source
16. Cont.…
Advantages
Less dispersion
Less degradation
Large information capacity
Core diameter is about 10 μm
Difference between the RI of core and cladding is small
Drawbacks
Expensive to produce
Joining two fibers is difficult
Launching of light into single mode is difficult
17. Multi-Mode Optical Fiber
Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber
mostly used for communication over short distances,
such as within a building or on a campus.
Typical multimode links have data rates of 10 Mbit/s
to 10 Gbit/s over link lengths of up to 600 meters.
18. About MMF
Multi-mode fibers are described by their core and
cladding diameters. example: 62.5/125 μm multi-
mode fiber.
The two types of multi-mode optical fibers are:
Step index multi-mode optical fibers
Graded index multi-mode optical fibers
The transition between the core and cladding can be
sharp, which is called a step-index profile, or a
gradual transition, which is called a graded-index
profile.
21. Step Index Fiber
Step-index multimode fiber has a large core, up to 100
microns in diameter.
As a result, some of the light rays that make up the digital
pulse may travel a direct route, whereas others zigzag as
they bounce off the cladding.
These alternative pathways cause the different groupings
of light rays, referred to as modes, to arrive separately at
the receiver.
22. Cont.
The pulse begins to spread out, thus losing its well-
defined shape.
The need to leave spacing between pulses to prevent
overlapping limits bandwidth that is, the amount of
information that can be sent.
Consequently, this type of fiber is best suited for
transmission over short distances, in an endoscope, for
instance.
24. Modal Dispersion
The arrival of different modes of the light at different
times is called Modal Dispersion.
Modal dispersion causes pulses to spread out as they
travel along the fiber, the more modes the fiber transmits,
the more pulses spread out.
This significantly limits the bandwidth of step-index
multimode fibers.
For example, a typical step-index multimode fiber with a
50 μm core would be limited to approximately 20 MHz
for a one kilometer length, in other words, a bandwidth of
20 MHz·km.
25. Graded-Index Multimode Fiber
Graded-index multimode fibers solves the problem
of modal dispersion to a considerable extent.
Graded-index multimode fiber contains a core in
which the refractive index diminishes gradually from
the center axis out toward the cladding.
The higher refractive index at the center makes the
light rays moving down the axis advance more slowly
than those near the cladding.
28. Advantages of Multi-Mode
Easily supports most distances required for premises
and enterprise networks
Can support 10 Gb/s transmission upto 550 meters
Easier to install and terminate in the field
Connections can be easily performed in the field,
offering installation flexibility and cost savings
Have larger cores that guide many modes
simultaneously
29. Applications
Step-index multimode fibers are mostly used for imaging
and illumination.
Graded-index multimode fibers are used for data
communications and networks carrying signals for
typically no more than a couple of kilometers.
30. Optical Fiber Components
Fiber Connector: an optical fiber connector terminates the end
of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and
disconnection
Broadband light source (BBS):a light source that emit lights
over a large wavelength range . Example: ASE source,
EELED,SLED
Fiber coupler: an optical device that combines or splits power
from optical fibre's
Circulator: a passive three-port device that couple light from
Port 1 to 2 and Port 2 to 3 and have high isolation in other
directions
31. Cont.…
Mode scrambler: an optical device that mixes optical
power in fiber to achieve equal power distribution in
all modes
Index matching fluid: A liquid with refractive index
similar to glass that is used to match the materials at
the ends of two fibers to reduce loss and back
reflection
Wavelength division multiplexer: a device that
combines and split lights with different wavelengths
33. Wavelength
It is a Characteristic of light that is emitted from the light
source and is measured in nanometers(nm).
In the Visible spectrum , wavelength can be described as
the colour of the light.
Frequency
It is a number of pulse per second emitted from a light
source.
Frequency is measured in units of hertz (Hz)
1Hz= 1 pulse/sec
34. Window
A narrow window is defined as the range of wavelengths
at which a fiber best operates .
Window Operational Wavelength
800nm-900nm 850nm
1250nm-1350nm 1300nm
1500nm-1600nm 1550nm
35. Attenuation
It is defined as a loss of optical power over a set distance,
a fibre with lower attenuation will allow more power to
reach a receiver
Intrinsic Attenuation
Absorption
Scattering
Extrinsic Attenuation
Micro bending
Macro bending
36. Bandwidth
It is defined as the amount of information that a system
can carry such that each pulse of light is distinguishable
by receiver.
Numerical Aperture :
Numerical aperture(NA) is the “light- gathering ability” of
a fibre.
Light injected into the fibre at angles greater than the
critical angle will be propagated .
