An optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communications

How would you use Optical Link Budget to design short intermediate and long reach fiber networks?

An Optical Link Budget is the overall gains and losses within an optical network. Having this budget would than allow for the cost effective selection of transmitter, receiver (transceiver) at each end of a network.


Is optical fiber unidirectional?

The optical fiber can be used both as unidirectional and bidirectional. The main application of optical fiber is in long-distance links, so there exists no need to employ them as unidirectional. For each direction different wavelengths are used to modulat the signals. At the same time many bidirectional signals can travel through the same optical fiber.
