What is optical networking? (continued)


Long-term goal is that all-optical network i.e. all switching, transmission, and routing done optically
Conversion to/from electrical signals occurs only at boundary

How are optical networks different? Optical networks differ from conventional electronic or wired line networks
Rely upon light waves to carry data, rather than electron-based transmission in wires

Differ from conventional wireless networks


Operate at much higher frequencies Use waveguides (in the form of optical fiber) to carry the data-bearing waves.

19

Advantages
Cost-effective bandwidth
Above a certain threshold, price per unit of bandwidth is lower For very high bandwidths (~Gbit/second and higher) and even relatively short distances (~100 m), optical fiber is usually the only practical choice

Noise isolation
Optical fibers are not affected by electrical noise-producing sources Only in environments with high levels of radioactivity is there a potential problem

OptoElectronics-01-02

20

Advantages (continued)
Greater security
Optical fiber does not emit electromagnetic radiation
Much more secure than many other types of wiring, such as category 5 untwisted pair used for Ethernet applications

Tapping optical fiber is also much more difficult

Smaller physical presence


Single optical fiber cable with a diameter of less than 6 mm can replace a bulky cable with hundreds of wires
OptoElectronics-01-02 8/28/2013 21

Disadvantages
-Technicians need to be retrained -Need to convert optical signals back to electronic signals for processing

23

Message Origin
May take several physical forms. All these forms should be converted to electrical forms by means of transducers. Information must be in electrical form before transmission for either electronic or optical communications.
OptoElectronics-01-02 8/28/2013 24

Modulator
o Function -Converts the electrical message to proper format. - impresses this signal on to the wave generated by the carrier source. o Type - Analog -Digital o Format choice should be made very early while designing a communications systems.
OptoElectronics-01-02 8/28/2013

25

Carrier Source
Generates the waves on which the information is transmitted the wave is called a carrier wave. For the production of carrier., Laser Diode or Light emitting Diode is used (Optics Oscillators). LD and LEDs consumes moderate amount of power. Besides that they are small and light. - So it is easy to impress the information on their radiations.
OptoElectronics-01-02 8/28/2013 26

Carrier Source(Continue)
Current make it possible for LED and LD to radiates power. Output power takes the shape of input current coming from modulator- Information being transmitted is contained in the variation of the optic power which is called the Intensity Modulation.

Channel Coupler
Feeds power into the information channel just like antenna. Should efficiently transfers the modulated light beam to the fiber. Unfortunately, this process is very difficult as., -smaller size of conventional fiber -fiber captures rays with in the limited angles. Important part of the design of the fiber system.

Information Channel
Path between transmitter and receiver. In fiber optics communications- A glass(plastic) fiber is a channel. Low attenuation and large light acceptance cone angle are desirable characteristics. Optical Amplifiers and repeaters(regenerators) are used to boost up the signal.
OptoElectronics-01-02 8/28/2013 30

Information Channel
Repeaters are used for digital systems whereas Optical Amplifiers are used for both Analog and Digital Systems. Optical Amplifiers compensate only for signal attenuation where as Repeaters constitute both amplitude and wave form.

31

Detector
Demodulation process(Electronic Systems) Information that is transmitted must be taken off. Optical wave is now converted to an electric current by a photo detector. Detector output current contains the message. Later the detector output current is filtered out. Light detectors are cheap, easily available, low power consumption.

Signal Processor
Includes amplification and filtering of signals. Desired SNR should be maintained.

33

Message Output
Electrical signals must be transformed to sound waves or visual image, if a person wants to hears or views the information. Suitable transducers in the above case areload speaker and cathode ray tube(Similar to the one used in T.Vs) Directly Used Electrical connector from the signal processor to succeeding system

Fiber optic terminology


Decibels (dB): X dB is 10X/10 in linear dimension e.g. 3 dB Attenuation = 10-.3 =
0.501 oStandard logarithmic unit for the ratio of two quantities. In optical fibers, the ratio of power and represents loss or gain.

Decibels-milliwatt (dBm) : Decibel referenced to a milliwatt

X mW is 10log10(X) in dBm, Y dBm is 10Y/10 in mW. 0dBm=1mW, 17dBm = 50mW

Wavelength (): length of a wave in a particular medium. Common unit: nanometers, 10-9m (nm) Frequency (): the number of times that a wave is produced within a particular time period. Common unit: TeraHertz, 1012 cycles per second (Thz) oWavelength x frequency = Speed of light x = C

Computing Power Levels in Decibels


A major part of system design involves keeping an account of the optic power along the communications links. This account is usually necessary to ensure that the wave incident on the detector has sufficient strength to be clearly and correctly recognized.

Computing Power Levels in Decibels


In other instances the received power may even be too large for the receiver. The designer must be certain this does not Occur. Decibel is the convenient measure of the relative power levels in a communications systems.

Computing Power Levels in Decibels


oIf power P1 is at one point of the system and P2 is some farther part of the link, then, P2/P1 is the fraction of the power transmitted between the two locations. oIt is also called the efficiency of the transmission.

Wave Nature of Light


Light is an electromagnetic wave having a very high oscillation frequency and a very short wavelength. Frequencies in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet are known as optic(as well as the term light). Light waves have much higher frequencies then Radio waves, they both obey the same laws and same characteristics. All these waves have Electric as well as magnetic effect and they travel very quickly.

Wave Nature of Light


o In free space the electromagnatic wave travels with the speed of 3x108 m/s. o Wave length of a light beam is given by., = v/f where v is the beam velocity and f is the frequency. o Wave nature of light is used to analyze how optic beams travels through fibers
OptoElectronics-01-02 8/28/2013 51

Particle Nature of Light


Some times light behaves as if they are made of very small particles called Photons. Energy of single photon is given by., Wp= hf where h = 6.626 x 10-34 J x s and is called Plancks Constant Particle theory explains generation of light by sources such as LEDs, Lasers and Laser Diodes. Particle theory also explains detection of light by conversion of optic radiation to electric current.

Advantages of Fibers
Basic material for glass fibers are silicon dioxide or transparent plastic, both of which is plentiful and readily available. Comparison with other medium is made in cost/information transfer. One fiber cable develop for telephone application has more then 4 times the data carrying capacity as compared to the twisted pair cable.

Advantages of Fibers
Fibers are easy to transport and easy to install due to its smaller weight and size. Current can not flow through fibers so fibers have excellent rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) and of Electromagnetic Interference(EMI). Fiber offers a degree of security and privacy. Fiber can withstand with extreme temperature (800 Celsius leaves the fiber unaffected).
