  2. Optical power budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power_budget

    The optical power budget (also fiber-optic link budget and loss budget) in a fiber-optic communication link is the allocation of available optical power (launched into a given fiber by a given source) among various loss-producing mechanisms such as launch coupling loss, fiber attenuation, splice losses, and connector losses, in order to ensure that adequate signal strength (optical power) is ...

  3. Link budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_budget

    For example, a "2 by 4" wood stud wall with drywall on both sides results in about 6 dB loss per wall at 2.4 GHz. [2] Older buildings may have even greater internal losses than new buildings due to materials and line of sight issues. Experience has shown that line-of-sight propagation holds only for about the first 3 meters.

  4. Polarization-maintaining optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization-maintaining...

    Image of the cross section of a polarization-maintaining optical fiber patch cord, taken with an illuminated microscopic viewer called a fiberscope. The two small, eye-like circles are the stress rods and the tiny circle between them is the core. The larger circle surrounding them is the cladding, usually 125 microns in diameter.

  5. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

    An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [a] from one end to the other. Such fibers find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

  6. Extinction ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_ratio

    Eye diagram showing an example of two power levels in an OOK modulation scheme, which can be used to calculate extinction ratio. P 1 and P 0 are represented by (binary 1) and (binary 0) respectively. In telecommunications, extinction ratio (r e) is the ratio of two optical power levels of a digital signal generated by an optical source, e.g., a ...

  7. Plastic optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_optical_fiber

    Plastic optical fiber (POF) or polymer optical fiber is an optical fiber that is made out of polymer. Similar to glass optical fiber, POF transmits light (for illumination or data) through the core of the fiber. Its chief advantage over the glass product, other aspect being equal, is its robustness under bending and stretching.

  8. Optical Carrier transmission rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Carrier...

    OC-768 SONET interfaces have been available with short-reach optical interfaces from Cisco since 2006. Infinera made a field trial demonstration data transmission on a live production network involving the service transmission of a 40 Gbit/s OC-768/STM-256 service over a 1,969 km terrestrial network spanning Europe and the U.S.

  9. Optical time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_time-domain...

    An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. It is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer which measures the impedance of the cable or transmission line under test. An OTDR injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test and extracts ...
