Losses in Optical Fiber Communication
• Attenuation
• Absorption.
• Scattering.
• Bending Losses.
• Dispersion.
ATTENUATION:
• Attenuation is the Ratio of input (Transmitted) Optical power
into the fiber to output (Received) Optical Power from the
Fiber.
MATERIAL DISPERSION:
• Index of refraction changes according to the wavelength.
• Each wave changes speed differently, each is refracted differently.
WAVEGUIDE DISPERSION:
• R.I change across waveguide means different wavelength have
different delay.
• The energy travels at slightly different velocities in the core and
cladding because of the slightly different refractive indices of the
materials.
