The cabled fiber my have good stable transmission characteristics which are comparable with the fiber. Increases in optical attenuation due to cabling are quite usual and minimized within the cable design. E 4 8. Cable strength. Optical cables must have similar mechanical properties electrical transmission cables in order that they may be handled in the same mann These mechanical properties include tension, torsion, compression, bending, squeegin and vibration. Hence the cable strength may be improved by incorporating a suit strength member and by giving the cable a properly designed thick outer sheath, 4. Identification and jointing of the fibers within the cable. This is especially important for cables including a large number of optical fibers. If the fibers are a ina suitable geometry it may be possible to use multiple jointing techniques rather than jointing each fiber individually. Q.2, What are the factors to limit the speed of response of a photodiode? Ans.Three main factors to limit the speed of response of a photodiode are as follows: 1. Drift time of carriers through the depletion region. The speed of response of aphotodiode is fundamentally limited by the time it takes photogenerated carriers to Fig drift across the depletion region. When the field in the depletion region exceeds — asaturation value, the carriers may be assumed to travel at a constant (maximum) GciR velocity u,.

University-(B.Tech)-Akash Books Q.3. Explain output patterns of source to fiber power launching. ‘Ans, Source Output Patterns: To determine the optical power ‘accepting capability ofa fiber the spatial radiation pattern of the source must first be known. ‘This pattern which shows a spherical coordinate system can be fairly complex. Consider Fig. Characterized by R, 0 and with the normal to the emitting surface being the polar axis. The radiance may be a function of both 0 and ¢ and can also vary from point to point on tre acting surface, A reasonable assumption for simplicity of analysis is to fake the emission to be uniform across the source area. Surface-emitting LEDs are characterized by their lambertian output pattern, which moana the souree is equally bright when viewed from any direction. The power delivered nt an angle 6 measured to a normal to the emitting surface varies as cos 0 because the projected area of the emitting surface varies as cos 0 with viewing direction. ‘The emisssion patter for a lambertian source thus follows the relationship BO,§) = B,cos0 where B, is the radiance along the normal to the radiating surface. Emitting area a SNR” LAVNS Emiting area of Fig. Spherical coordinate system for characterizing the emission pattern from an optical source. Q.4. Calculate the optical coupled power of an optical source. ‘Ans. Power-Coupling Calculation: To calculate the maximum optical power coupled into a fiber, consider first the case shown in Fig. for a symmertric source of rightness B(A, ®) where A, and Q, are the area and solid emission angle of the souree, respectively: Here the fiber end face is centered over the emitting surface of the source veal is positioned as close to it_as possible. The coupled power can be found using the relationship. P= fa/dA, fad .BA, er f(s (°° B00H sinooas |a0 rr A where the are A,and solid acceptance angle 2, of the fiber define the limits of the integrals. In this exprossion, First the radiance (0,6) from an individual radiating point source on the emitting nurfaco is integrated over the solid accoptancy angle of the fiber. This is shows by the expression in square brackets where Op, yay i8 the maximum acceptance angle of the fiber, which is related to the numerical aparvure NA, The total coupled power is then determined by suroming up the contributions from each individual tmitting-point source of incremental aren dd, dr, that iv, in integrating over the simitting area, For simplicity, hore the emitting surfaco is taken as boing circular 1ethe source radius r, is ess than the fiber-core radius a, thon the uppor intogration limit =7,;for source areas larger than the fiber-core area, Py = 8 .

The effect of the equilibrium numerical aperture NA, becomes apparent. At this point the optical power NAY inthe ber seales.asP.,=P,,| yA - Q.6. Laser diode to optical fiber coupling. Ans. Laser Diode-to-Fiber Coupling: Edge-emitting laser diodes have an emission Pattern that norminally has a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 30-50° in the plane perpendicular to the active-area junction and an FWHM of 5-10” in the plane parallel to the junction. Since the angular outpur distribution and an greater than the fiber acceptance angle and since the laser emitting area is much smaller than the fiber core, spherical or cylindrical lenses or optical fiber tapers can also be used to improve the coupling efficiency between edge-emitting laser diodes and optical fibers. This also works well for vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSELS). Here. coupling efficiencies to multimode fibers of 35 percent result for mass-produced connections of laser arrays to parallel optical fibers and efficiencies of up to 90 percent are possible by direct (lensless) coupling from a single VCSEL source to a multimode fiber, so ab ory wa api LE ind em ele the SEVENTH SEMESTER [B.TECH.]_ FIRST TERM EXAMINATION [SEPT. 201 ~ OPTOELECTRONICS AND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION (ETEC-403) : Time: 1.5hrs. ~ MLM. :30 Note: - Q. no. 1 is compulsory.

The information source provides an electrical signal to a transmitter comprising an electrical stage which drives an optical source to give modulation of the light wave carrier. The optical source Which provides the electrical - optical conversion may be either aseiniconductor later or light emitting diode (LE D) .The transmission medium consists of an optical fiber cable and the receiver consists of an optical detector which drives a farther electrical stage and hence provides demodulation of the optical carrier.
