fibre Optic is a light pipe that use to carry a light beam froma place to other place.
Light is a electromagnetic signal like a radio wave. It can bemodulate by information and sent over the fibre-optic.
fibre optic cable used as medium (media) in electroniccommunication system.There are 3 main element/component in fibre opticcommunication system.
I. Transmitter (pemancar) @ light source-LED or ILDII. Receiver (penerima) @ light detector

fibre optic consists three parts:Core (teras)Cladding (salutan)Protective jacket / coating (Jaket Pelindung)
-fibre optic diameter is around 0.125 ~ 0.400
mm.

Core - situated in middle of the fibre optic.to allow the light propagates along the core.
Cladding - material surround the core with alower refractive index
- cladding purpose is to :i. provide a total internal reflection (TIR).ii. Increase mechanical (tensile) strength.iii. Reduce scattering loss.iv. Protect the core from absorbing surface
contaminant.

Protective - Outer coating made of plastic.
Jacket - Protective jacket function is to :i. Increase mechanical (tensile) strength.ii. Protect the fibre from external mechanical
force.iii. Prevent moisture to contact the fibre core/
cladding

Information input - voice, video, stillpicture & computer data.
Coder or converter - convert analog signalsto digital pulses.
Light Source - convert digital pulsesto the light pulses.
*Digital pulses are used to flash a light source off & onvery rapidly.F ibre Optic - transmit the light
pulses along the fibreoptic over a long distances.
Coupler / Connector - couple the light from thelight source to the fibre opticand from the fibre optic tothe light detector.

Light detector - convert the light pulsesto the digital pulses
(electric signal).Amplifier - amplify the digital pulses
at this point, digitalpulses are not apure digital signals.
Shaper - reshape the digital pulsesinto a pure digital
signals.Decoder - convert the digital
signals to the originalinformation voice,videoand still picture.

5.3 FIBRE O PTIC M ODEThere are two basic ways of classifying fibre optic cables:i. Index of Refraction (Indeks Biasan).ii. Mode
Index of Refraction.Index of refraction is referring how the index of reflectionvaries across the cross section of the cable.
5.3.1 F ibre Optic Index.
There are two ways of defining the index of refractionvariation across a cable.
i. Step index (Indeks Langkah)ii. Graded Index (Indeks Gred)

STEP INDEX IS RE F ERRING TO THE CORE WHICH HAS ONE CONSTANTINDEX RE F RACTION , N1 AND THE CLADDING ALSO HAS ONE CONSTANTINDEX RE F RACTION , N2 WHICH N1>N2.

5.3.2 F IBRE OPTIC MODE .
Mode refers the number of paths for the light of ray incable.
There are two classification for fibre optic mode: single
mode & multimode
In single mode, light follow single path through the core.
In multimode the takes many path through the core.
There are 3 types of fibre optic cablei. Multimode step indexii. Single-mode step indexiii. Multimode graded index
8/7/2019 UNIT5 Fiber Optik
15/25
A) Multimode step index
Typical core diameter 50-100mThe large diameter core allows many mode of light go throughThe lights takes many hundreds of thousands of
path through the core before exiting the fibre.

Because of the different lengths of the paths,some light take a longer time to reach the end of the cable than others.
The problem with this is that it stretches thelight pulses. The stretching of the pulses isreferred as a modal dispersion.
Suitable to used for short or medium range.

17/25
B) Multimode graded indexTypical core diameter 50-85mIt have many modes of transmission through the cable, but
there are much more orderly and predictableBecause of the continuously varying index of refractionacross the core, the lights ray are bent and convergerepeatedly at certain points along the cable.The light near the edge of the core take a longer path buttravel faster since the index of refraction is lower.All modes or lights paths tend to arrive at the same pointsimultaneouslyThe result is that less modal dispersion

C) Single mode step indexMono-mode,step index
Typical size,7-10mThe core is too small that it only allow one modego through it.The output pulse have the same duration withthe input pulse.No pulse stretching occurs.
