Fiber optics communication
Gentian optik telah menjadi salah satu tiang utama komunikasi moden. Ia mempunyai kapasiti komunikasi yang besar dan jarak penghantaran yang panjang. Ia juga mempunyai kelebihan kerana sangat sensitif dan kebal terhadap gangguan elektromagnet. Jadi, bagaimana sebenarnya gentian optik menghantar isyarat optik?
Optical fiber is the carrier for optical signal transmission. And optical signals are converted from electrical signals. The device that can realize the electrical and optical conversion is called an optical transmitter. In an optical fiber system, the optical transmitter is the signal starting point of the fiber optic line.
The light pulse signal is generated by a light emitting diode or an injected laser. Through the lens, the light pulse signal is concentrated into the fiber media, so that the light pulse is transmitted along the line in the fiber media.
The transmission of optical signals (transmisión de señales ópticas) is accomplished by the principle of total reflection of light. When the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, the light pulse moves easily along the fiber optic line through the reflection of light.
Both the glass core and the glass cladding have an inherent property, namely refractive index. This is a fundamental parameter that measures the speed of light propagation through an object. In order for the system to function properly, the cladding should have a slightly smaller refractive index than the core. This means that the light can travel all the way through the fiber in a sawtooth path.
After transmitting the optical signal to the other end of the system via optical fiber, the optical signal needs to be converted into an electrical signal. Only then can various network devices be used. The device that can perform this function is an optical receiver.
The main component of the optical receiver is the photodetector. The most important part of the photodetector is the photodiode. It uses the photoelectric effect of the semiconductor to reduce the light signal to an electrical signal. Then the electrical signal is amplified and the qualified electrical signal is output through other processing. This process enables the restoration of electrical signals with essentially no attenuation.
In the age of the Internet, optical signals are an essential way to carry out information transmission. The information sent in the usual communication using cell phones and computers is in the form of electrical signals.
With a basic optical communication system, a circuit consisting of an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and an optical fiber can be formed. Optical repeaters, fiber-optic amplifiers and wavelength division multiplexers are also used to ensure long-distance signal transmission (transmisión de señales a larga distancia) quality and increase transmission bandwidth.
