    Fibre optics communications


    For a long time light has been used to send messages. Our ancestors lit beacons when invaders threatened. A hand-held mirror, the heliograph, was first used by the ancient Greeks to reflect the Sun’s rays and flash coded signals over great distances. And lighthouses and traffic lights use light to warn us of danger. But fibre optics communications is an altogether more sophisticated way of sending messages from one place to another: it makes use of long thin glass fibres along which information is sent as pulses of laser light. Fibre optics communications is now a well-established technology and it holds great promise for the future of telecommunications systems. But why should optical fibres be so superior to conventional copper cables? Well, for one thing cables made from optical fibres are cheaper, lighter and easier to install than copper cables. Furthermore, they are completely free from electromagnetic interference since data on a light beam cannot be corrupted by electrical machinery, thunderstorms and “noisy” power lines. Consequently, there is no interference or “cross-talk” between neighbouring fibres, a quality that also means that signals carried by optical fibres are much less liable to be detected compared with electrical signals in copper cables, i.e. the information is effectively secure from eavesdroppers. Safety, too, is an important reason for using optical fibres since broken fibres are not a fire hazard as the escaping light is harmless. The strongest justification for using optical fibres is their potential for carrying considerably more information than copper cables. Since light waves have frequencies about 10000 times higher than the highest frequency radio waves, considerably greater bandwidth is available. Indeed conventional copper cables are hard pressed to keep up with the mounting speed of development in communications and information technology. However, before fibre optics communications could become a reality, two high technology inventions, the laser and low-loss fibre optic cable were needed. By “low loss” is meant glass so pure you could see through a 35 km thick block of it as clearly as through a window pane! Such high purity means that information travels through optical fibres for long distances without having to be repeatedly amplified on the way – it is said to have low attenuation. The raw material for such optically clean fibres is a special kind of sand called silica. An optical fibre is a solid rod of silica, finer than a human hair and surprisingly flexible. It is manufactured in the cleanest of atmospheres to ensure that no speck of dust or fingerprint can mar its purity. The basic construction of an optical fibre comprises a glass core totally enclosed by a glass cladding. A plastic coating covers the cladding and core to prevent dust and moisture from reaching the glass core. Light is guided along the core by being reflected back from the outer cladding to the core, bouncing along from side to side of the core. No light is lost as it bounces from the cladding; at each bounce it is all reflected back to the core. What makes this happen is the relative optical properties of the core and the cladding. The cable is designed so that the refractive index of the core is higher than the refrective index of the cladding. This ensures that light meeting the boundary between the core and cladding at an angle greater than a certain “critical” angle is totally reflected back into the core. This is called total internal reflection. A fibre optics cable is an armoured cable designed both to protect the bundle of fibres from contact with moisture and chemicals, and to strengthen it. Two light sources (or transmitters) are eminently suitable for the job of sending pulses of light down these slender optical fibres: light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and injection-laser diodes (ILDs). Both sources generate light when excited by electricity, and they are the only sources of light capable of being switched on and off fast enough to be modulated by low power analogue or digital signals. Their physical dimensions are compatible with optical fibres and they have the reliability and long life needed in telecommunications systems. Gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAlAs) and gallium indium arsenide phosphide (GaInAsP) are the materials used in their construction. They convert electricity in to infrared energy efficiently, and the special glass used in fibre optics is more transparent at infrared wavelengths. Infrared LEDs are suitable for use with stepped-index multi-mode fibres since they emit a relatively wide beam of light with a fairy large spectral bandwidth. ILD sources radiate a much narrower beam of infrared with a much narrower spectral width. It is desirable that ILD sources should be used with stepped-index mono mode fibres. Furthermore, ILDs can launch between 0.5mW to 5mW of infrared power into a fibre, compared with the smaller 0.05μmW to 0.3μmW for an LED. GaAlAs ILDs and LEDs generate infrared in the 0.8μm to 0.9μm range, while GaInAsP devices generate infrared in the 1.3m to 1.6m range where attenuation and dispersion by fibres is very low. A photodiode is generally used to convert the modulated infrared light back into electrical signals at the end of the fibre. The photodiode is reverse-biased so that when it absorbs infrared, a small current flows between its cathode and anode terminals. The current is virtually proportional to the amount of light it absorbs. Photodiodes are generally based on silicon. Infrared emitting diodes and photodiodes are available as spectrally-matched pairs: the LED emits maximum infrared radiation at the wavelength to which the photodiode is most sensitive. This wavelength is typically 0.9μm.
