QUESTION:
An optic fiber is made of glass with a refractive index of 1.55 and is clad with
another glass with a refractive index of 1.51. Launching takes place from air. What
numerical aperture does the fiber have?

Choices:

a. 0.852 b. 0.352 c. 1.032 d. 0.235

ANSWER:

b. 0.352
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)
By equation (20.10), the fractional difference between the indexes is:
∆=(n1-n2)/n1
=(1.55-1.51)/1.55
=0.0258
By equation (20.11), the numerical aperture is found to be:
NA=n1√(2∆)
=1.55√[(2)(0.0258)]
= 0.352

QUESTION:
An optic fiber is made of glass with a refractive index of 1.55 and is clad with
another glass with a refractive index of 1.51. Launching takes place from air. What
is the acceptance angle?
Choices:

a. 22.8◦ b. 18.6◦ c. 20.6◦ d. 23.6◦

ANSWER:

c. 20.6◦
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)
By equation (20.10), the fractional difference between the indexes is:
∆=(n1-n2)/n1
=(1.55-1.51)/1.55
=0.0258
By equation (20.11), the numerical aperture is found to be:
NA=n1√(2∆)
=1.55√[(2)(0.0258)]
= 0.352
By equation (20.8), the acceptance angle is:
Θ0(max)=sin-1NA= sin-10.352=20.6◦

QUESTION:
For a single-mode optical cable with 0.25-dB/km loss, determine the optical power 100km
from a 0.1-mW light source.
Choices:

a. -25dBm b. -45dBm c. -35dBm d. -30dBm

ANSWER:
-35dBm
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)

P=0.1mW x 10-{[(0.25)(100)]/(10)}
=1 x 10-4 x 10{[(0.25)(100)]/(10)]
=(1 x 10-4)(1 x 10-25)
=0.316µW
P(dBm)= 10log
= -35dBm
