1. Brief Introduction with Fiber Optics and its Types

1.1 What is Fiber Optics.


Fiber optics (optical fibers) are long, thin strands of very pure glass about the diameter of a 250
microns. They are arranged in bundles called optical cables and used to transmit light signals
over long distances.

If you look closely at a single optical fiber, you will see that it has the following parts:
Core - Thin glass center of the fiber where the light travels
Cladding - Outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into the
core
Buffer coating - Plastic coating that protects the fiber from damage and moisture
Hundreds or thousands of these optical fibers are arranged in bundles in optical cables. The
bundles are protected by the cable's outer covering, called a jacket.

1.2 Types of Fiber Optics.


Optical fibers come in two types:
Single-mode fibers
Multi-mode fibers
.
Single-mode fibers have small cores 9 microns in diameter) and transmit infrared laser light
(wavelength = 1,300 to 1,550 nanometers).

Multi-mode fibers have larger cores 50 or 62.5 microns in diameter and transmit infrared light
(wavelength = 850 to 1,300 nm) from light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

1.3 How Fiber Optics Work.

fiber

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core by constantly bouncing from the cladding,
a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the

Nayatel 2
core, the light wave can travel great distances. However, some of the light signal degrades within
the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass.

1.4 Reflection.
When a light ray called the incident ray, crosses the boundary from one material to
another, some of the light energy in the ray will be reflected back. That is why you can see
yourself in window glass. The light that is reflected back is called the reflected ray.
When a ray of light (the incident ray) strikes the shiny surface of a flat piece of glass, some of the
light energy in the ray is reflected. The angle between the incident ray and a line perpendicular to
the surface of the glass at the point where the incident ray strikes the glass is called the angle of
incidence. The perpendicular line is called the normal. It is not a light ray but a tool to allow the
measurement of angles. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is called the angle
of reflection. The Law of Reflection states that the angle of reflection of a light ray is equal to the
angle of incidence. In other words, the angle at which a light ray strikes a reflective surface
determines the angle that the ray will reflect off the surface.

1.5 Refraction.
The light energy in the incident ray that is not reflected will enter the glass. The
entering ray will be bent at an angle from its original path. This ray is called the refracted ray. How
much the incident light ray is bent depends on the angle at which the incident ray strikes the
surface of the glass and the different rates of speed at which light travels through the two
substances.
The bending of light rays at the boundary of two substances is the reason why light rays are able
to travel through an optical fiber even if the fiber curves in a circle.

1.6 Total Internal Reflection.


The laws of reflection and refraction illustrate how to design a fiber that guides the light
waves through the fiber with a minimum energy loss. The following two conditions must be met
for the light rays in a fiber to be reflected back into the fiber without any loss due to refraction:
The core of the optical fiber has to have a larger index of refraction (n) than the material
that surrounds it. The material that surrounds the core of the fiber is called the cladding.
The angle of incidence of the light ray is greater than the critical angle for the core and its
cladding.
When both of these conditions are met, the entire incident light in the fiber is reflected back inside
the fiber. This is called total internal reflection.

1.7 Bending Radios.


Bending radius is a radius of logical circle around witch we can bend the fiber optic cable.
Bending Radius for Bear Fiber or Pigtails and Patch cord is 35mm.
And for Fiber Optics Cable there is a formula to calculate the bending radius of Fiber Optics
Cable
Bending Radius = 20 * OD of Cable in mm
Example:
Outer dia of cable = 21mm
Bending Radius = 20 * 21mm
= 420mm

1.8 Advantages of Fiber Optics.
Why are fiber-optic systems revolutionizing telecommunications? Compared to
conventional metal wire (copper wire), optical fibers are:

Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than equivalent
lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet) and you money.

Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.

Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires, more
fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires. This allows more
phone lines to go over the same cable or more channels to come through the cable into
your cable TV box.

Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire.

Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one fiber do
not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means clearer phone
conversations or TV reception.

Low power - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less, lower-power transmitters
can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires.
Again, this saves your provider and you money.

Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is
especially useful in computer networks.

Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is no fire


hazard.

Lightweight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Fiber-
optic cables take up less space in the ground.

Flexible - Because fiber optics are so flexible and can transmit and receive light, they are
used in many flexible digital cameras for the following purposes:
Medical imaging - in bronchoscopes, endoscopes, laparoscopes
Mechanical imaging - inspecting mechanical welds in pipes and engines (in
airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, cars)Plumbing to inspect sewer lines

2. Introduction with Network

Nayatel 4
2.1 Data Communication System.
Data communication is fundamentally a simple operation. Point A sends information to
Point B and Point B receives it. A slightly more complex, and more practical, system allows Point
A to send information to and receive information from Point B, and vice versa . It consists of the
following parts.
The SENDER initiates the communication.
The MEDIUM is the mechanism by which the communication is conveyed to the receiver.
The RECEIVER receives the communication

Simplex
Data in a simplex channel is always one way. Simplex channels are not often used
because it is not possible to send back error or control signals to the transmit end. Its like a one
way street.

Half-duplex
A half duplex channel can send and receive, but not at the same time. Its like a one-lane
bridge where two way traffic must give way in order to cross. Only one end transmits at a time,
the other end receives.

Full-duplex
Data can travel in both directions simultaneously. There is no need to switch from
transmit to receive mode like in half duplex. Its like a two lane bridge on a two-lane highway.

Nayatel 5
2.2 Network Topologies.
The study of the arrangement or mapping of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a
network, especially the physical (real) and logical (virtual) interconnections between nodes.

Bus topology
The type of network topology in which all of the nodes of the network are connected to a
common transmission medium which has exactly two endpoints (this is the 'bus', which is also
commonly referred to as the backbone, or trunk) all data that is transmitted between nodes in
the network is transmitted over this common transmission medium and is able to be received by
all nodes in the network virtually simultaneously.

Ring topology
The type of network topology in which each of the nodes of the network is
connected to two other nodes in the network and with the first and last nodes being
connected to each other, forming a ring all data that is transmitted between nodes in the
network travels from one node to the next node in a circular manner and the data
generally flows in a single direction only.

Star topology
The type of network topology in which each of the nodes of the network is connected to a
central node with a point-to-point link in a 'hub' and 'spoke' fashion, the central node being the
'hub' and the nodes that are attached to the central node being the 'spokes'. All data that is
transmitted between nodes in the network is transmitted to this central node, which is usually
some type of device that then retransmits the data to some or all of the other nodes in the
network, although the central node may also be a simple common connection point without any
active device to repeat the signals

Nayatel 6
Fully connected mesh topology
The value of fully meshed networks is proportional to the exponent of the number of
subscribers, assuming that communicating groups of any two endpoints, up to and including all
the endpoints.

3. Brief Introduction with Passive Optical network

3.1 What is PON


A passive optical network (PON) is a system that brings optical fiber cabling and signals
all or most of the way to the end user. Depending on where the PON terminates, the system can
be described as fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), fiber-to-the-building (FTTB), or fiber-to-the-home
(FTTH). A PON consists of an Optical Line Termination (OLT) at the communication company's
office and a number of Optical Network Units (ONUs) near end users. Typically, up to 32 ONUs
can be connected to an OLT. The passive simply describes the fact that optical transmission has
no power requirements or active electronic parts once the signal is going through the network

3.4 Upstream and Downstream


In telecommunications generally, a transmission from an information server toward an
end user is referred to as downstream and a transmission toward the server is referred to as
upstream. In a stand-alone system, a PON could deliver up to 622 Mbps downstream to the user
and up to 155 Mbps upstream

5.3 Principal Of Working


OTDR works at the principal of Back Scattering Light. Back scattering light is the part of
light that reflect back to the transmitter end
OTDR transmit a light pulse it travels in the fiber and some part of this light reflect back to
the transmitter OTDR receive this reflected light and measure the quantity of light received back
and the time it taken.

Nayatel 14
5.4 Dead Zone
The area of under test fiber near the fiber interface of an OTDR where the intensity of
light is very high and the time of reflection is too short that the reciver of OTDR cannot detect the
reflection is called Dead Zone

5.5 Pulse Width


OTDR transmit the laser pulses in the under test fiber. And the time interval in witch an
OTDR generate a single laser pulse is called pulse width or the time for a laser source of an
OTDR remain on during one attempt at the time of test is called pulse width.
