1. List the basic elements of a Fiber-Optic communication system • A fiber optic transmission strand that can carry the signal. • A source of invisible infrared radiation modulated to impress digital data or an analog signal on the light beam. • A photosensitive detector to convert the optical signal back into an electrical signal at the receiver. • Optical connectors at the light source-to-cable interface and at the cable-to-photo detector interface. 2. List Five advantages of an optical

HIGH TECHNOLOGY FIBRES FOR TECHNICAL TEXTILES 1 INTRODUCTION Human life is surrounded by hundreds of textile fibres either in the form of clothes‚ interior textiles or in the form of high performance technical textiles made of conventional or high technology fibres for various applications. A textile fibre is usually defined as a flexible‚ macroscopically homogenous cylindrical body mainly with circular cross- section having a high ratio of length to diameter (typically 100-3000: 1). Textile

military/aerospace platform operational environment challenges the creativity of fiber optic module packaging engineers as they endeavor to develop and mature new active and passive single-mode fiber optic and photonic components for next generation avionics networking applications. Low sales and manufacturing volumes inherent to avionics combined with lack of standard interface specifications for current and next generation fiber optic local area network architectures and sub-systems makes it difficult

definition of fiber may be needed. New products are being developed or isolated that behave like fiber‚ yet do not meet the traditional requirements of fiber‚ either analytically or physiologically. Without an accurate definition of fiber‚ compounds can be designed or isolated and concentrated using available methods without necessarily providing beneficial health effects‚ which most people consider to be an important attribute of fiber. Most of us are familiar with the terms "soluble fiber" and "insoluble

on Structure and Properties of PTT Fiber and Spinning Feasibility of PTT Short Fiber PTT (Polytrimethylene terephthalate) fiber is a kind of the most important fibers of the after-polyester period. With the development of economy‚ people’s living standard is improving. More and more consumers hope that in the field of clothes and articles for daily life‚ high performance fabric can be conducted. Compared with other traditional chemical fibers‚ PTT fiber has the following characteristics:

Copper vs. Fiber Modern telecommunication networks rely primarily on two types of cable. Older copper cables have been replaced in many cases by fiber optic "light pipes‚" first in undersea cables and major intercity trunks‚ and later directly to many homes and businesses. Principles Copper cables carry information as an electrical signal‚ which may be digital‚ as in phone lines‚ or analogue‚ as in audio speaker cable. In optical fibers‚ however‚ data is carried digitally by light from a laser

there have been numerous inventions and discoveries. The latest one has been that of Fiber optic cables‚ which have gained more respect in the market than the copper cables. These cables are widely used in offices or residential areas. Copper cables transmit information through electrical signals. It has been used as a speaker system wire‚ telephone wire‚ computer cable wire etc. for over years now. Optical fiber comprises of plastic or glass strands to transmit data or information digitally with

Influences of Fiber Optics Introduction: People have been trying to improve communications over the centuries. Communication plays a very important role in everyday life. The advancement of the world mostly depends on how we share the information with the rest of the world. Fiber optics is making this task easier and quicker. It is currently the fastest internet technology. Fiber optic is a technology of transmitting light through very thin flexible glass or plastic fibers. It is one of the fastest
