ASSIGNMENT -1
1. Draw the block Diagram Optical Fiber Communication System. Enlist the advantages of
optical Communication.[13-14] [11-12] [12-13]
2. What do you mean by the Acceptance Angle of an Optical Fiber? [11-12] [13-14] [12-13]
[15-16]. derive an expression for Numerical aperture of an Optical Fiber. [13-14] [12-13].
[15-16]. Show how acceptance angle is related to refractive index of the fiber core. [11-
12]
3. What is Total Internal Reflection? Explain Snell’s Law. [13-14]
4. A silica optical fiber with a core diameter large enough to be considered by a ray
diameter large enough to be considered by ray theory analysis has a core refractive index
of 1.5 and cladding refractive index of 1.47. Determine
(a) Critical angle at core cladding interface
(b) NA for the fiber[16-17]
(c) Acceptance angle[14-15] [15-16]
5. An optical has a numerical aperture of 0.344.What is the acceptance angle of meridional
rays? Calculate the acceptance angle for skew rays which changes direction by 1000 at
each reflection. [14-15]
6. A multi mode step index fiber has a relative refractive index of 1% and core refractive
index of 1.5 the number of modes propagating at a wavelength of 1.3 micrometers is
1100. Estimate the diameter of fiber core. [14-15]
7. What is the difference between step index and graded index fiber? [16-17] [14-15]How
does the ray of light propagate through the graded index fiber? [14-15]
8. Explain mode field diameter and normalized propagation constant. [14-15] [11-12]
9. A graded index fiber has a core with parabolic refractive index profile and diameter of
40μm.Numerical aperture of 0.2. Estimate the total number of guided modes for the
wavelength of 1μm. [11-12] [12-13].
10. Differentiate between Skew rays and meridional rays. An optical fiber in air has NA0.4;
compare the acceptance angle for skew rays which changes direction by 1000 at each
reflection. [11-12] [15-16] [16-17]
