What is different between optical fiber signal and electrical signal?
A fiber optical signal is based on the transfer of photons, while an electrical signal is based on the transfer of electrons.
What optical fiber used for?
Long Distance signal transmission!
How a scratch outside of an optical fiber might cause problems?
Fiber optics, using optical fiber, are specially designed to implement total internal reflection. A signal passed from one end of the fiber to the other end of the fiber is a single beam of light that repeatedly bounces off the edges of the fiber until it reaches it's destination. By scratching the outside of an optical fiber, this property can be disrupted causing the signal to be lost.
What is meant by atenuation in fiber optics?
Attenuation in fiber means 'loss of optical power' suffered by the optical signal in fiber itself.
Can you propagate optical signal over electrical network?
only over fiber
Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
Does the gauge of fiber optical audio cable affect the audio quality?
No. As long as the signal is getting through, the gauge of the optical connection makes no difference.
What is meant by attenuation in optical fiber?
When an optical signal of a given wavelength travels in the fiber it looses power. The amount of loss of power per Km length of fiber is called its attenuation. A=10*LOG10(POUT/PIN) dB/Km Where POuT is optical power after 1 Km PIN is th epower launched in the Fiber.
What is meant by attenuation in Optical Fiber Communication?
When an optical signal of a given wavelength travels in the fiber it looses power. The amount of loss of power per Km length of fiber is called its attenuation. A=10*LOG10(POUT/PIN) dB/Km Where POuT is optical power after 1 Km PIN is th epower launched in the Fiber.
What property of light is used in optical fibers?
a signal is beamed as a light through the fiber optics and when they are relayed to the other side a computer decodes the signal that's also how fiber optic TVs work
What is the basic principle of fiber sensor?
A fiber optic sensor in general consists of a light source. The light source is coupled to an optical fiber. A light source which receives signal-carrying light beam on it emerges from the fiber. The signal from detector is processed electrically for getting information.
Difference between active and passive optical component?
Fiber optic couplers can be either active or passive devices. The difference between active and passive couplers is that a passive coupler redistributes the optical signal without optical-to-electrical conversion. Active couplers are electronic devices that split or combine the signal electrically and use fiber optic detectors and sources for input and output.
