Tutorial 1

1) a) Draw the typical loss profile of a Silica Fibre b) Mark the 3 main wavelength in windows used for optical communication c) Which of these windows are used for optical communication? i) ii) Data Communication Tele communication

d) Draw the loss profile of a Low-water-peak fibre on the same graph. State an application of this fibre. e) Explain the function of optical amplifiers. f) What is the meaning of the term EDFA? g) What are the wavelengths ranges that can be amplified by EDFA?

2) a) Express the following ratios in dB Scale i) ii) 1 , 10, 100, 20, 4 0.1, 0.01, 0.5, 0.001

b) Express the following optical power values in dBm Scale i) 1mW, 10mW, 2mW, 30mW ii) 1uW, 2nW, 4uW, 6nW c) Using typical fibre loss profile for Silicon fibre, Calculate the maximum link lengths possible in three wavelength window. (Assume that the optical transmitter has a power of 1mW and the receiver needs a minimum power of -20dBm to successfully recover the signal.)
