INTRODUCTION Free-space optical communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to transmit data for telecommunications orcomputer networking. "Free space" means air‚ outer space‚ vacuum‚ or something similar. This contrasts with using solids such as optical fiber cable or an optical transmission line. The technology is useful where the physical connections are impractical due to high costs or other considerations. Free-space optical communication (FSO)

nahas | 4/29/2011 | | Free space optical communication is the most growing communication because it is easy to install and has a high speed because the signal is transmitted in the air. So that will introduce the atmospheric affect in the optical wave propagation. Atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in both the intensity and the phase of the received signal. So we need to study the effect and the limitation if we introduce a free space optical communication system with dual wavelength

Fiber Optic Connector Assembly The three fiber geometry parameters that have the greatest impact on splicing performance include the following: Cladding diameter—the outside diameter of the cladding glass region. core/clad concentricity (or core-to-cladding offset)—how well the core is centered in the cladding glass region fiber curl—the amount of curvature over a fixed length of fiber These parameters are determined and controlled during the fiber-manufacturing process. As fiber is cut and

HISTORY OF FIBER OPTICS * In 1840‚ Daniel Colladon and Jacques Babinet demonstrated the principle of guiding light by refraction. * It was followed by a public demonstration by John Tyndal in 1852. In 1870‚ Tyndal wrote about the property of total internal reflection in his book about the nature of light. * In 1880‚ Alexander Graham Bell and Sumner Tainter invented the Photophone‚ a device capable of transmitting sound waves over beam of light. This is considered as mankind’s first attempt

The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Introduction In fiber optic networks‚ OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is an opto-electronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. Unlike power meters OTDR does not measure loss‚ but instead implies it by looking at the backscatter signature of the fiber. Generally‚ OTDR are used to determine the loss of any part of a system‚ the length of the fiber and the distance between any points of interest. Most of the light which is

telecommunications is simply a method of transmitting information from one place to another extremely fast. This is done by shooting pulses of light through an optical fibre. Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter‚ relaying the signal along the fiber‚ ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak‚ receiving the optical signal‚ and converting it into an electrical signal. An optic-fibre is a small fibre no thicker than a human hair‚ either made of glass or plastic that
