NUMERICAL APERTURE
For light rays to be propagated along a fiber they must fall within the fibers acceptance
angle the numerical aperture of the fiber is an indication of how much light fiber can accept to
propagate through it. The light transmitted inside a fiber amount the total internal refelction, light
travel not only along fibers central axis but also various angles to center line.
ATTENUATION
The power coming out of the fiber should be less than the power entering it called
attenuation. If the fibre should be less than communication attenuation is decrease in the light
power or intensity during light propagation along a fiber. Here the light loss caused by the
violation of the total internal reflection concept due to improper fibre coupling called coupling
loss.

In the single mode fiber there are actually two independent degenerate propagation
modes. These modes are very similar but their polarization planes are orthogonal. Those may be
chosen arbitrarily as their horizontal and vertical polarization either one of these polarization
modes constitute the fundamental mode. Suppose we arbitrarily choose one of the modes to
have its traverse electric field polarized along the x direction and the other independent
orthogonal nodes to be polarized in y direction.

FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION LINK
Ex.No.3
Date:

To setup fiber optic analog link using a 660nm OFC and to measure the beam width
APPARATUS REQUIRED
1. Advanced fiber optic communication trainer link
2. 66nm fiber cable
3. AFO
4. CRO
5. Patch chords
THEORY
The analog signal can be send using one of several modulation techniques. The simplest
form of optical fiber link is direct intensity modulation, where optical output from the source is
modulated simply by varying the current around the bios point in proportion to the message
signal level. Thus information signal is transmitted directly in the end of the base band. More
efficient method is to translate the baseband signal into an electrical sub carrier prior to intensity
modulation or phase modulation techniques.
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the kit with 230V AC mains power supply using 3 pin power chord
2. Make the jumper connections for 660nm wavelength source
3. Connect the internal function generator output to analog transmitter test point using 1mm
patch chord

APPARATUS REQUIRED

THEORY
LED
A light emitting diode is a semiconductor diode mode by creation of junction of n type
and p type material. Thus the principle of LED action works precisely the same way that we
described the creation of permanent light radiation. Alternatively w can say that the external
energy provided by V excites electrons at the conduction band to the valence band and
recombine with hole. The net result is the light radiation.
PHOTODIODE
Photodiode is used to convert the light signal into an electrical signal
Forward bias
Positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the p-side and negative to the n-
side. A large amount of current flows through line junction. Under this forward bias condition,
the applied positive terminal repel electron in the n type region.
Reverse bias
Positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the n-side and negative to the p-
side. No current majority under this condition. Under this condition holes which from the
majority carrier of the p-side moves forward the negative terminal of the battery, and the

THEORY
The electromagnetic field at any point of transmission line,may be considered as the
sum of 2 travelling waves: the incident wave which propagates from the generator and the
reflected wave which propagates towards the generator. The reflected wave is set up by the
reflection of incident wave from a discontinuity on the line or from the load impedance. The
magnitude and phase of the reflected wave depends upon amplitude of phase of the reflected
impedance.The presence of two travelling waves gives rise to standing waves along the line.The
maximum field strength is found when the two waves are inphase and the minimum where the
two waves add in opposite phase.The distance between two successive minima(or maxima) is
half the guide wavelength of the line.The ratio of electrical field strength of reflected and
incident waves is called reflection coefficient.The voltage standing wave ratio between
maximum and minimum field strength along the line.

APPARATUS REQUIRED
Klystron power supply, Reflex klystron isolator, frequency meter, variable attenuator,

THEORY
The reflex klystron is a microwave tube used as a microwave source in a lab. It makes
use of velocity modulation to a continuous electron beam into microwave power. Its oscillation
frequency can be varied over wideband and it can be pulse and frequency modulated.
Electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated by and pass through a position
resonator grids towards the reflector and negative terminal to the cathode are consequently and
finally reflex the electrons which then turn back through the resonator grids. In case klystron
starts to oscillate a bifixed exist and these electrons leave at a reduced velocity because of the

STUDY OF GUNN DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
Ex.No.8
Date:
AIM
To study the following characteristics of Gunn diode.
1. V-I characteristics.
2. Output power & frequency as a function of voltage.

APPARATUS REQUIRED
Gunn power supply, Gunn oscillator pin Modulator, Isolator, frequency meter, attenuator,
slotted section with probe carriage, Detector mount & VSWR meter.
THEORY
The Gunn oscillator is based on negative differential conductivity effect in bulk.
Semiconductor, which has two conduction, bands minima separated by an energy gap (greater
agitational energies). A disturbance at the cathode gives rise to high field region, which travels
towards the anode. When this high field domain reaches the anode, it disappears and another
domain is formed at the cathode and starts moving towards anode and so on. The time required
for domain to travels from cathode to anode (Transit time) gives oscillation frequency.
In a Gunn oscillator, the Gunn diode is placed in a resonant cavity. In this case the
oscillator frequency is determined by cavity dimension than by diode itself.
Although Gunn oscillator can be amplitude modulated with the bias voltage, we have
used separate pin modulator through pin diode for square wave modulation.
A measure of the square wave modulation capability is the modulation depth (i.e.) the
output ratio between ON and OFF state.

Connectors of the some type must be compatible form a maintelization to another
LOW ENVIRONMENT SENSITIVITY
Connector such as temperature dust mixture should have a small effect on connected los
variation
CONNECTOR TYPE
Connectors are available in design that systems on twist on scrap into fibre. The most
commonly used connectors are the twist on end sharp of design. Butt joint connectors employ a
metal cosmic or modulated plastic fraction
Two polar butt joint alignment design used in both multi and single mode fiber system.
There are the straaaight source and taped biconical mechanism
CONNECTOR RETURN LOSS
A connector point is an optical link can be category into best interface types. These
consist of either or perpendicular or an angled and fiber on the fiber. In each case these
connection requires high selection loss and insertion losses.

RESULT
Thus the connecterization of optic fiber was studied.
