Fibre optic communication has revolutionised telecommunications by enabling much longer distance links with lower loss and higher data rates. Fibre optic systems use total internal reflection to transmit light through the fibre and are used widely in telecom backbones, broadband networks, and data transmission. Single mode fibre has a small core and transmits single signals for long distances, while multi-mode fibre has a larger core and transmits multiple signals for shorter links like local networks. Fibre optics enable high-speed internet, cable TV, and reliable data transmission.

- 3. Fibre optic communication has revolutionised the telecommunications industry. It has also made its presence widely felt within the data networking community as well. Using fibre optic cable, optical communications have enabled telecommunications links to be made over much greater distances and with much lower levels of loss in the transmission medium and possibly most important of all, fiber optical communications has enabled much higher data rates to be accommodated. As a result of these advantages, fibre optic communications systems are widely employed for applications ranging from major telecommunications backbone infrastructure to Ethernet systems, broadband distribution, and general data networking.
- 4. TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION When light traveling in an optically dense medium hits a boundary at an angle larger than the "critical angle" for the media, the light will be completely reflected. This is called total internal reflection..Fiber optic cables use total internal reflection inside the optical fiber. The light enters the optical fiber, and every time it strikes the edge of the fiber it experiences total internal reflection. This way the light travels down the length of the optical fiber.
- 5. PROPAGATION There are two main categories of optical fiber used in fiber optic communications and are: Single mode optical fiber Multi mode optical fiber
- 6. SINGLE MODE OPTICAL FIBER This mode of optical fiber are used to transmit one signal per fiber (used in telephone and cable TV). They have small cores(9 microns in diameter) and transmit infra-red light from laser. Single-mode fiber’s smaller core (<10 micrometers) necessitates more expensive components and interconnection methods, but allows much longer, higher- performance links.
- 7. MULTI MODE OPTICAL FIBRE This type of optical fiber are used to transmit many signals per fiber (used in computer networks). They have larger cores(62.5 microns in diameter) and transmit infra-red light from LED. However, multi-mode fiber introduces multi-mode distortion which often limits the bandwidths and length of the link. Furthermore, because of its higher dopant content, multimode fiber is some what more expensive.
- 8. Core-thin glass center of fiber where light travels. Cladding-outer optical material surrounding the core. Buffer coating-plastic coating that protects the fiber.
- 9. APPLICATIONS CATV(cable television) services are supplied via a fiber optic network to an optical node, which converts and distributes the electrical signal to subscribers via a coaxial cable connection. CATV applications utilizes both single mode and multimode signals within different areas of the network. Single Mode fiber is used to distribute signal from the central office to optical nodes, where it can be converted to multimode Data transmission fiber optics, simply put, is the sending and receiving of data from point-to-point via a network. It ranges from very simple cables connecting servers or storage arrays inside a network or telecommunications system, to large multi-fiber distribution cables supporting intra-building connectivity and beyond.
- 10. INTERNET : Bandwidths of up to 10Gbps , Streaming Movies in HD(High Defination), Effortless video conferencing with no lagging , Gaming and so on….. The Independent Telecommunication Providers segment is an area of the industry that provides service(s) in rural areas, typically supporting residential and small to medium businesses. The services offered in these areas can range from basic telephone to triple play depending on the provider, subscriber location, and service availability. Expanded service can include television broadcast (high definition in some cases), VoIP (voice over internet protocol) phone service, and security over a single broadband connection. However, more and more of these various services are becoming available in rural locations nationwide.
- 11. ADVANTAGES Much higher bandwidth(Gbps) - Thousands of channels can be multiplexed together over one strand of fiber Immunity to noise - Immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Saftey-Doesn’t transmit electrical signals, making it safe in environments like a gas pipeline. Security - Impossible to “tap into.” Attenuation –It is a term that refers to the reduction in the strength of a signal. (fibers can be made to have only 0.2 dB/km of attenuation) Reliability - More resilient than copper in extreme environmental conditions. Size- Lighter and more compact than copper.Unlike impure, brittle glass, fiber is physically very flexible.
- 12. DISADVANTAGES Disadvantages include the cost of interfacing equipment necessary to convert electrical signals to optical signals. (optical transmitters, receivers) splicing fiber optic cable is also more difficult. •Expensive over short distance •Requires highly skilled installers •Adding additional nodes is difficult
- 13. A huge amount of development can be made by making further research and work on fibre optics .We need it for a faster and more sophisticated infrastructure which would be the prime demand of the ever growing population of tomorrow. At present there are many optical fiber communication links throughout the world without using optical solitons. When we introduce optical solitons as light pulses through the fibers, we can achieve high quality telecommunication at a lower cost. We can expect a great revolution in optical fiber communication within a few years by means of solitons.
