Why we choose fiber optical? Edited by FiberCasa.

com The quickly development of fiber optical communication in only a few decades , and make
more than 80% of the world's telecommunication service transmission in the optical fiber communication network, this thanks to its advantage. Firstly, the large capacity of fiber optical. Optical fiber communication is based on the optical fiber as the transmission medium, and optical wave as the system carrier, the carrier -- light wave has a very high frequency, so it has great capacity. At present, the single channel rate can reach the commercial system of 10Gbit/s (the equivalent of a pair of fiber and transmitted more than 12 telephone channels), multi channel total capacity is 1.6Tbie/s (equivalent to about 19200000 phone call). Through the calculation, Changfei optical fiber and optical carrier potential communication capacity of about 40000Gbie/s, the equivalent of 600000000 telephone channels, now use the bandwidth is only about optical fiber bandwidth of 1%, 1310nm and 1550nm window the bandwidth of about 85nm, if the elimination of absorption peak, the available bandwidth of long wavelength window can reach to 210nm, from 1100nm to 1700nm wider bandwidth, up to 600nm. Secondly,Low loss and long distance relay. At present, the use of optical fiber communication system and practical optical fiber for quartz optical fiber, the optical fiber signal at 1.55um wavelength region can be reduced to 0.16dB/km, other than loss of communication lines known are much lower, therefore, the relay distance optical communication system consisting of than other media made much longer. If the use of non quartz fiber season, and in the work in the long wavelength, the theoretical loss coefficient of fiber can be decreased to 10-3 ~ 10-5dB/km, the optical fiber communication relay distance of thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers. So, in any case, optical fiber communication system can not set relay system, which possesses very important significance for reducing the communication cost, improve the reliability and stability. Thirdly, Strong ability of anti electromagnetic interference We know, telephone lines and cables are not in general with the high-voltage wire parallel erection, also no longer electrified railway laying nearby. This is because the high tension wires radiate strong electromagnetic wave, electric train running can generate electric spark strong, they will transfer the signal interference telephone lines and cable, even the caller cannot hear what the other in that. And the optical fiber is quartz glass fiber, is a kind of non conducting medium. Alternating electromagnetic wave in which does not generate induced electromotive force, not only will not produce noise, signal independent, it laid in parallel to nearby high voltage wire and electric railway, also won't be affected by electromagnetic interference. The optical fiber communication in addition to can be used in the telecommunications sector, especially suitable for use in railway, electric power sector.
