Optical Communications and Photonics
Photonics is the science of generating, controlling, processing photons.
Optical Communications is the way of interacting with photons to deliver the information.
The term ‘Photonics’ first appeared in late 60’s

Why Photonics?
Lowest Attenuation Attenuation in the optical fibre is much smaller than electrical attenuation in any cable at useful modulation frequencies Much greater distances are possible without repeaters This attenuation is independent of bit-rate
Highest Bandwidth (broadband) High-speed The higher bandwidth The richer contents
Upgradability Optical communication systems can be upgraded to higher bandwidth, more wavelengths by replacing only the transmitters and receivers
Low Cost For fibres and maintenance

Buffer is plastic for mechanical protection

How Fibre-Optic Works?
Snell’s Law: n1 Sin Φ1 = n2 Sin Φ2
How does fibre-optic work?

Fibre-Optics
Fibre-optic cable functions as a “light guide”, guiding the light from one end to the other end. (i.e. Optical Channel)
Categories based on propagation: Single Mode Fibre (SMF) Multimode Fibre (MMF)
Categories based on refractive index: Step Index Fibre (SIF) Graded Index Fibre (GIF)

(Rayleigh, Raman…) Bending losses (micro
bending)

Optical Sources – L.A.S.E.R Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
(LASER) “Stimulated Emission” antonym of “Spontaneous
Emission”. Optical transition stimulated by the effect of electric
field of light wave; on the contrary, usually emission occur spontaneously without help of the electric field.
Laser Diodes (LD) and Light Emitting Diodes (LED) LED emits light by spontaneous emission mechanism,
while LD has an optical cavity which enables multiplication of photons by stimulated emission.
