Optical fiber communication—An overview

Abstract

This paper deals with the historical development of optical communication systems and their failures initially. Then the different generations in optical fiber communication along with their features are discussed. Some aspects of total internal reflection, different types of fibers along with their size and refractive index profile, dispersion and loss mechanisms are also mentioned. Finally the general system of optical fiber communication is briefly mentioned along with its advantages and limitations. Future soliton based optical fiber communication is also highlighted.

Investigation of Modulators in OTDM System

“…This is because an optical signal is initially generated from an electrical data pattern and converted back into an electrical signal after transmission for the recovery of the transmitted data [1]. With the ever-increasing demand for higher speeds and larger capacity brought about by rapid data growth on the Internet, interest in optical time division multiplexing has been growing rapidly in recent years due to its high speed and ability to overcome the "electronic bottleneck" offered by today's electronic components.…”

Advanced Modulation Formats and Multiplexing Techniques for Optical Telecommunication Systems

“…Optical fiber offers several advantages over the traditional media (e.g., twisted wire pair and coaxial cable). Its decisive advantages are huge bandwidth and very low attenuation and noise (Arumugam, 2001). The first, results in higher bit rate, and the second, results in longer transmission distance.…”

Quality of Service and Reliability Analysis of Wireless Networks

“…Each remote system has a database to store, keep up, and refresh area data for clients. To shun disappointment, the server can reflect and duplicate databases at numerous spots in the system [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Base station disappointments can be diminished through repetitive segments which is an overlay design.…”
