Principles of Optical Fiber Light Transmission
- Optical Fiber: The optical fiber is a thin, flexible strand of glass or plastic designed to transmit light signals. It consists of a core, cladding, and protective outer layer.
- Core: The core is the innermost part of optical fiber where light signals travel. It has a higher refractive index than the cladding.
- Cladding: Surrounding the core, the cladding has a lower refractive index. It serves to keep light signals confined within the core through reflection.
- Total Internal Reflection: This phenomenon occurs when a light signal is reflected into the core due to a difference in refractive indices between the core and cladding.
- Light Source: A light source, often a laser or LED generates light signals that are injected into optical fiber.
- Fiber Optic Cable: A collection of optical fibers bundled together within the protective sheath used for data transmission.
- Transmission Mode: There are two primary transmission modes: single-mode and multi-mode. Single mode allows a single light mode to propagate.
- Bandwidth: The data-carrying capacity of the optical fiber typically measured in the megahertz-kilometer (MHz·km) or gigahertz-kilometer (GHz·km).
Optical Fiber Light Transmission
