Components for optical transmission for special applications

Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Since the light of the different wavelengths is not mixed in the fiber, it is possible to simultaneously transmit signals at different wavelengths through a single fiber. Fiber is economical, but installing new cables can be expensive, so using already installed fibers to transmit more signals can be very cost-effective.
Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) was first used with multimode fiber at the beginning of the optical fiber, using both 850 and 1310 nm in multimode fiber. Currently, single-mode fiber networks can carry signals at 10Gb / s in 64 wavelengths or more, which is known as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). Multimode fiber systems that use wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) have been less popular; Nevertheless,

Repeaters and optical amplifiers
Although the optical fiber has low losses, which allows the signal to travel hundreds of kilometers, for extremely long distances and even on submarine cables, regenerators or repeaters are needed to periodically amplify the signal. At first, the repeaters consisted basically of a transmitter followed by a receiver. This receiver converted the optical input signal into an electrical signal, cleaned it to eliminate all possible noise and then another laser transmitter retransmitted it. These repeaters added noise to the signal, consumed a lot of energy and were complex, which means they were a cause of failures. Further,

The solution to the optical repeaters were the optical amplifiers. A standard fiber amplifier operates in the band 1480-1650 nm. It consists of fiber doped with erbium pumped with a laser at 980 or 1480 nm. The pumping laser supplies the power to the amplifier, while the input signal stimulates the emission as the pulse passes through the doped fiber. This stimulated emission, in turn, stimulates greater emission so that rapid and exponential growth of energy is generated in the doped fiber. It is possible to obtain gains of up to 40 dB (10000X) with available powers of up to +26 dBm (400 mW).
Fiber optic technician salaries
In addition to being used as repeaters, optical amplifiers are used to increase the signal level in cable television systems, which require high energy levels in the receiver to maintain adequate signal-to-noise performance, which allows extended cable runs or the use of splitters to "emit" a single signal through a coupler to many fibers and thus save the cost of additional transmitters. In telephony, fiber amplifiers are combined with DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) to overcome the inefficiencies of DWDM couplers for long distance transmissions.

One strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair

By niveksuhail
As the saying goes, one strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair.CORNING It’s an amazing idea. Now, copper wires—sometimes called “twisted pair” because they are made of pairs of strands of copper twisted around one another—also carry data and telephone signals to homes and farms in much of rural America. But because of the characteristics of copper as a transmission medium, signals that travel over copper doesn’t have the extraordinary frequency range that light signals do, are subject to interference from other signals, and in general, degrade very quickly over more than a short distance. That’s why if you have a copper-wire DSL (digital subscriber line) subscription, you have to be very close to the phone company’s “central office” to get a download signal into your house. A DSL house is connected to a copper wire, not a fiber-optic cable. fiber optic installer salary Not only can light travel over fiber for hundreds of miles with little attenuation (im...

There are two methods that are used to measure the loss

By niveksuhail
There are two methods that are used to measure the loss by insertion with a light source and power meter, a "connection cable test", also called "single-end loss", according to the TIA FOTP-171 standard, and a "cable network test installed" or "loss of two ends", according to the TIA OFSTP-14 (multimode) and OFSTP-7 (single mode) standard. The difference between the two tests is that the single loss test end uses only a launch cable and tests only the connector attached to the launch cable plus the fiber and any other component in the cable. The single-end test is mainly used to test connection cables or short cables since you can test each connector individually. The two-end loss check uses a launch cable and a receive cable attached to the meter and measures the loss of the connectors at both ends of the cable under test. The single-end check is generally used in connection cables to be able to test the connectors at each end of an indi...
