Optical Fibers(step index) n2 < n1 n2 n1 Protective coating
Multimode Fiber Diameter : > 50 Step index fiber Graded index fiber Low cost but limited bandwidth * distance due to multimode dispersion
Multimode Dispersion t t Step index fiber : < 50 MHz.Km Graded Index Fiber : < 1000 MHz.Km (1990) < 5000 MHz.Km (2000)
Monomode Fiber Diameter : < 5 Only one propagation mode possible Higher cost due to end equipment but enormous bandwidth*distance product 10 Gb/s over 500 Km optical sections (1995)
Wave Domain Multiplexing Each color can carry an independent data flow. In 2000 40 colors carrying each 10 Gb/s or 80 colors carrying each 2.5 Gb/s were commercially available
Optical amplifiers Pump laser Erbium doped fiber Erbium atoms are pumped into a higher energy state by the light of the pump laser, they fall back in synchronism with the incoming light, amplifying it.
