Presentation Transcript

Topics • Fiber Materials • Fiber Manufactoring

Fiber Materials • Requirements for optical fiber material • It must be possible to make long thin, flexible fibers from the material • Material must be transparent at a particular optical wave length in order for fiber to guide light efficiently • Physically compatible materials that have slightly different refractive indices for core and cladding must be available

Fiber Materials • Materials that satisfy these requirements are glasses and plastic • Majority of fibers are made of glass consisting of either silica or silicate. • Plastic fibers are less widely used because of their higher attenuation • Plastic fibers are used for short distance applications (several hundred meters) and abusive environments

Glass Fiber • Glass is made by fusing mixture of metal oxides, sulfides, or selenides. The resulting material is a randomly connected molecular network rather a well defined structure as found in crystalline materials • A consequence of this random order is glass does not have a well defined melting point • When glass is heated , it gradually begins to soften until it becomes a viscous liquid

Glass Fiber • Optical fiber are made from oxide glasses and most popular is silica (SiO2) which has refractive index of 1.458 at 850 nm. • To produce two similar materials with slightly different refraction indices for core and cladding, either fluorine or other oxides (dopants) are added to silica

Glass Fiber • Sand is the principle raw material for silica • Glass composed of pure silica is referred to as either silica glass, fused glass, or vitreous silica. • Desired properties are • resistance to deformation at temperatures as high as 1000 C • High resistance to breakage from thermal shock • Good chemical durability • High transparency in both visible and infrared regions of interest

Plastic Optical Fibers • Growing demand for delivering high-speed services to workstations • Have greater optical signal attenuations than glass fiber • They tough and durable • Core diameter is 10-20 times larger

Fiber Fabrication • Two basic techniques • Vapor-phase oxidation process • Outside vapor phase oxidation • Vapor phase axial deposition • Modified chemical vapor deposition • Direct-melt methods

Fiber Fabrication • Direct melt method • Follows traditional glass making procedures • Optical fiber are made directly from molten state of purified components of silicate glass • Vapor phase oxidation • Highly pure vapors of metal galides (SiCl4) react with oxygen to form white powder of SiO2 particles • Particles are collected on surface of bulk glass by above methods and are transformed to a homogenous glass by heating without melting to form a clear glass rod or tube. This rod is called preform • Preform is 10-25 mm in diameter and 60-120 cm long.

Fabrication • Prefrom is fed into circular heater called drawing furnace. • Preform end is softened to the point where it can be drawn into a very thin filament which becomes optical fiber • The speed of the drum at the bottom of draw tower determines how fast and in turn how thick the fiber is • An elastic coating is applied to protect the fiber

Outside Vapor Phase Oxidation • Core layer is deposited on a rotating ceramic rod • Cladding is deposited on top of core layer • Ceramic rod is slipped out (different thermal expansion coefficient) • The tube is heated and mounted in a fiber drawing tower and made into a fiber • The central hole collapses during this drawing process

Vapor Phase Axial Deposition • Similar to outside vapor deposition • Starts with a seed which is a pure silica rod • The preform is grown in the axial direction by moving rod upward • Rod is also rotated to maintain cylindrical symmetery • As preform moves upward it is transformed into a solid transparent rod preform by zone melting (heating in a narrow localized zone) • Advantages • No central hole

Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition • Pioneered at Bell Labs, and adopted to produce low loss graded index fiber • Glass vapor particles, arising from reaction of constituent metal halide gasses and oxygen flow through inside of revolving silica tube • As SiO2 particles are deposited, they are sintered to a clear glass layer by an oxyhydrogen torch which travels back and forth • When desired thickness of glass have been deposited, vapor flow is shut off • Tube is heated strongly to cause it to collapse into a solid rod prefrom • Fiber drawn from this prefrom rod will have a core that consists of vapor deposited material and a cladding that consists of original silica tube.

Double Crucible Method • Silica and halide glass fiber can all be made using a direct-melt double crucible technique • Glass rods for the core and cladding materials are first made separately by melting mixtures of purified powders • These rods are then used as feedstock for each of two concentric crucibles • Advantage of this method is being a continuous process • Careful attention must be paid to avoid contaminants during metling

  • Pulse width is the time between the 50 marks on the rising and falling edges.
  • Transmitters, Receivers, and Rise Time
  • Rise time of transmitter is based on the response time of the LED or laser diode.
  • Rise time of the receiver is primarily based on the semiconductor device used as the detector.
