What is Optoelectronic communication
System ?
• Optoelectronic communication system is a technology
that combines optics and electronics to transmit data
over long distances.
• It involves the use of optical fibers to carry information
instead of electrical signals, which makes it faster and
more efficient.
• A modulator/demodulator a transmitter a light signal and
a transparent channel are building blocks of an
optoelectronic communication system.
• These components work together to ensure that data is
transmitted accurately and reliably.
Importance of Optoelectronic Communication
System in modern communication technology

• High Speed Data Transfer

• Long-Distance Communication
• Large Bandwidth
• High Security
• Reduced signal interference
• Data Reliability
What is Optical Fibre ?
• An optical fiber is a thin, transparent
fiber made of glass or plastic that is used
to transmit information through light
signals.

• It consists of a core, which carries the

light signals, and a cladding layer, which
surrounds the core and helps to keep the
light signals within the core.

• The outermost layer is called the jacket

or buffer, which protects the fiber from
damage and moisture.
 Principle of Total Internal Reflection

• When a light wave passes through a boundary between two

materials of different refractive indices, a part of the wave will be
refracted at the surface of the boundary, and another part will be
reflected.

• If the angle of incidence of the light wave is greater than the

critical angle, i.e. the incidence angle at which the light is
refracted and travels along the boundary, then the light wave
cannot pass via the boundary. Under this condition, the light is
said to be totally reflected back internally.
 Principle of Total Internal Reflection
in Optical fibre
• In optical fibers, which are long, thin strands of glass or
plastic used to transmit light signals, the principle of
total internal reflection is used to keep the light signals
within the fiber, allowing them to travel long distances
without significant attenuation or loss of signal strength.

• By using the principle of total internal reflection, optical

fibers can transmit light signals over long distances with
minimal loss of signal strength, making them ideal for
telecommunications and other applications where high-
speed data transfer is required.

Devices aerospace monitoring
# Advantages of Optoelectronic Communication
System over traditional communication system

• The optical fiber is light weight and more

compact.
• One of the most significant advantages of
fibers is their ability to transmit enormous
amounts of data in either digital or analog
form.
• The external disturbance is well-protected by
optical fiber.
• Radar and other signals will not cause
disruptions in the fiber. It has higher
bandwidth.
# Disadvantages of Optoelectronic Communication
System over traditional communication system

• More complex transmitter and reception

equipment are essential.
• Fiber is more vulnerable to fiber flux at greater
optical power; consequently, the optical fiber
may be broken.
• Splicing them is more difficult and complicated,
and costly to maintain than splicing wires.
• It is an expensive investment or installation and
maintenance.
Future Prospectus:

The continued expansion of 5G

networks is one prediction for the
future of fiber optic technology.
Fiber optic cables are used in 5G
networks to transmit data at high
speeds and with low latency.
Conclusion :
• Optoelectronic communication systems have become an
integral part of modern telecommunications due to their
ability to transmit information at high speeds over long
distances.
• These systems use light as a medium for transmitting
information, providing several advantages over
traditional electronic communication systems, including
faster data rates, lower power consumption, and higher
bandwidth.
• Optoelectronic communication systems have a wide
range of practical applications, from telecommunication
networks and data centers to industrial automation and
medical diagnostics.
