• Snell’s law:
ni sin i nr sin r
Law of refraction
Note:
1. when light passes from material of lower RI to
higher, refracted angle becomes smaller.
2. When light passes from material of higher RI to
smaller, refracted angle becomes larger.
3. If we keep on increasing angle of incident larger
and larger, corresponding angle of refraction get
larger. A stage will reach that refracted angle
becomes 90 and corresponding incident angle is
still small.

• Cone of Acceptance
• NA is the measure of the light
capturing ability of the fiber at
the input of fiber.

Chromatic dispersion
• Optical signal ( pulse) has range of wavelength rather than
specific narrow wavelength. Fiber has different RI
characteristics at different wavelength, so each wavelength
will travel at different speed in fiber. That is Shorter
wavelengths travel slower because index of refraction is
greater. So some wavelength will arrive before the other,
will result in pulse smearing or dispersion.
OR
• Material dispersion or chromatic dispersion is caused by
the fact that the refractive index of the glass we are using
varies slightly with the wavelength. A single pulse has a
range of wavelengths, and will spread out to some degree
during its travel.

Modal dispersion
– Using multimode fiber, the light is able to take many
different modes or paths as it travels in the fiber. So the
distance traveled by the light in each mode is different
from the other. When pulse is sent, part of that pulse (
ray) take different modes. As a result, some of the
components of the pulse arrive before the other. The
difference between the arrival time of light taking the
fastest mode vs. slowest mode gets greater as the
distance gets greater.

Intensity of interference pattern
• Basic relationships
– Maxima at angle given by d sin = m, m = 0, 1, 2…
– Minima at angle given by d sin = (m+1/2), m = 0, 1, 2…
• For light of 650 nm (red), d = .2 mm = 1 x 10-4 m
– Maxima at = .00325 radians = .186o
– At 10 m, distance to first maximum = 3.25 cm
• For light of 650 nm (red), d = .1 mm = 1 x 10-4 m
– Maxima at = .0065 radians = .372o
– At 10 m, distance to first maximum = 6.5 cm

Scattering
• Definition: Photons interact with material in
propagation medium
• Nonlinear: cannot generally be
compensated
– Problems can only be fixed by making better
fiber
• Types
– Impurities in fiber: light exits fiber at high
angles or is absorbed
• Single mode
– Only a single path for light as it travels down fiber
– Core: 8.3-10 micrometers
