DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
ASSIGNMENT 1
MODULE-1: LASERS AND OPTICAL FIBERS

1) Obtain the expression for Energy Density using Einstein’s A and B coefficients.

2) Illustrate the construction and working of Semiconductor diode LASER with the
help energy level diagram.

3)Define Acceptance angle and Numerical Aperture and hence derive an expression
for NA in terms of RIs core, cladding and surrounding.

4)Discuss the types of optical fibers based on Modes of Propagation and RI profile.

5)Describe attenuation and explain the various fiber losses.

6) Give an account of point to point communication system using optical fibers.

7) A Pulsed laser emits photons of wavelength 780nm with 20mW average

power/pulse.Calculate the number of photons contained in each pulse if the pulse
duration is 10ns.

8) Calculate numerical aperture & acceptance angle of fiber having a core RI 1.50
and cladding RI 1.48.
