LASER IN OPTOELECTRONICS OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATIONS OPTICAL FIBER SENSORS
Fiber optic sensors measure properties of their environment. They can measure anything which changes the way light travels through the fiber, or alters the light’s properties. Optical fiber sensors
Temperature Pressure Strain Displacement Acceleration Flow rate Vibration Chemical concentrations Electrical and Magnetic Fields Rotation rate By optical fiber sensors we can measure,
Light beam changes by the phenomena that being measured. • Light may change in its five optical properties , • Intensity • Phase • Polarization • Spatial period (Wavelength) • Spectral distribution
Extrinsic sensors Where the light leaves the feed or transmitting fiber to be changed before it continues to the detector by means of the return or receiving fiber
Intrinsic sensors Intrinsic sensors are different in that the light beam does not leave the optical fiber but is changed whilst still contained within it.
Advantages of optical fiber communication systems: • Ability to carry much more information and deliver it with greater fidelity • Higher data rate over great distances • Immune to all kinds of interference • Unaffected by most chemicals • No possibility of spark from a broken fiber
Easier to handle and install, and uses less duct space • Ideal for secure communications systems
Optical fiber communication system consists of three basic elements:- Optical transmitter- Fiber Optic cable- Optical receiver
Optical transmitter: • Converts an electrical analog or digital signal into optical modulated signals • The source can be either a LED or solid state laser diode (LD) • Most equipment manufactured to operate at wavelengths of 850-1300 nm
The modulated light may be turned on and off or may be linearly varied
The optical receiver: • Optical receivers are available in both analog and digital version • Both types employ an analog preamplifier stage, followed by either analog or digital output
Analog receiver Digital receiver
Other Applications • Quantum Cryptography Quantum Optics : Entanglement of two photons Correlations between two photons , i.e., two photons are correlated in one of their properties , i.e., polarization .
Possible applications : • Communications • Computers • Teleportation
Communications →Quantum Cryptography → transmission of information with absolute secrecy → 1998 → technology : 5 years Computers → Quantum computers → Parallel Operations → technology : 50 years Teleportation → Disappearance and appearance between two places → technology:5000 years
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that allows multiple information streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber. • Attractively, using WDM, we can benefit much more data rate using a single fiber. • WDM systems being deployed today can increase a single fiber's capacity sixteen fold, to a throughput of 40 Gb/s.
3) Fiber Bragg Grating: • The Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is a fiber optic passive component exhibiting basic functional attributes of reflection and filtering.
FBG’s are commercially used in the areas of Telecommunications and Sensors: • Telecommunications • Fiber Lasers • Fiber Amplifiers • Fiber Filters • Dispersion Compensators • Optical Fiber Phase Conjugator • WDM • Multiplexers • Demultiplexers
