A certain optical has an attenuation of 1.5 dB/km at 1300 nm. If 0.5 mW of optical
power is initially launched into the fiber, what is the power level in microwatts after 8
km?
An optical signal has lost 55 percent of its power after traversing 3.5 km of fiber.
What is the loss in dB/km of this fiber?
A continuous 12-km-long optical fiber link has a loss of 1.5 dB/km. (a) What is the
minimum optical power level of 0.3 W at the receiving end? (b) What is the required
input power if the fiber has a loss of 2.5 dB/km?
Consider a step-index fiber with a SiO2 GeO2 core having a mole fraction 0.09 of
GeO2. Plot Eqs. (3-2b) and (3-3) from 500 nm to 5 m, and compare the results with
the curve in Fig. 3-5.
The optical power loss resulting from Rayleigh scattering in a fiber can be calculated
from either Eq. (3-4a) or Eq. (3-4b). Compare these two equations for silica (n =
1.460 at 630 nm), given that the fictive temperature T f is 1400 K, the isothermal
compressibility T is 6.8 x 10 12 cm2/dyn, and the photoelastic coefficient is 0.286.
How does this agree with measured value ranging from 3.9 to 4.8 dB/km at 633 nm?
Consider graded-index fiber having index profiles = 2.0, cladding refractive indices
n2 = 1.50, and index differences = 0.01. Using Eq. (3-7), plot the ratio Neff / N for
bend radii less than 10 cm at = 1 m for fibers having core radii o 4, 25, and 100
m.
Three common fiber jacket materials are Elvax 265 (Ei = 21 Mpa) and Hytrele 4056
(Ei = 58 Mpa), both made by DuPont, and Versalon 1164 (Ei = 104 Mpa) made by
General Mills. If the Youngs modulus of a glass fiber is 64 Gpa, plot the reduction in
microbending loss as a function of the index difference = when fiber are coated with
these materials. Make these plots for value ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 percent and for a
fiber cladding-to-core ratio of b/a = 2.
Assume that a step-index has a V number of 6.0.
a) Using Fig. 2-22, estimate the fractional power Pclad / P traveling in the
cladding for the six lowest-order LP modes.
b) If the fiber in (a) is a glass-core, glass-clad fiber having core and cladding
attenuations of 3.0 and 4.0 dB/km, respectively, find the attenuations for each
of the six lowest-order modes.
c) Suppose the fiber in (a) is a glass-core, polymer-clad fiber having core and
cladding attenuations of 5 and 1000 dB/km, respectively. Find the attenuations
for each of the six lowest-order modes.
Assume a given mode in a graded-index fiber has a power density p(r) P0 exp( Kr2),
where the factor K depends on the modol power distribution.
a) Letting n(r) in Eq. (3-12) be given by. Eq. (2-78) with = 2, show that the
this mode is

gi = 1 +

K a2

Since p(r) is a rapidly decaying function of r and since < 1, for ease of
calculation assume that the top relation in Eq. (2-78) holds for all value of r.
b) Choose K such that p(a) = 0.1P0, that is, 10 percent of the power flows in the
cladding. Find gi, in terms of 1 and 2.
3-10. For wavelengths less than 1.0 m the refractive index n satisfies a Sellmeier relation
of the form 70
E0 Ed

n = 1 + E 20E2
where E = hc/ is the photon energy and Eo and Ed are, respectively, material oscillator
energy and dispersion energy parameters. In SiO2 glass E0 = 13.4 eV and Ed = 14.7 eV.
Show that, for wavelengths between 0.20 and 1.0 m, the values of n found from the
Sellmeier relation are in good agreement with those shown Fig. 3-12.
3-11. Derive the group delay given by Eq. (3-19) from the propagation constant given in
Eq.(3-18).
3-12. (a)
An LED operating at 850 nm has a spectral width of 45 nm. What is the pulse
spreading in ns/km due to material dispersion? What is the pulse spreading
when a laser diode having a 2-nm spectral width is used?
(b)

with a 75-nm spectral width.

3-17. Show that, when the effect of material dispersion is ignored and for = 0, Eq. (3-41
reduces to Eq. (3-47).
3-18. Make a plot on log-log paper of the rms pulse broadening in a parabolic graded-index
fiber ( = 2) as a function of the optical source spectral width A in the range 0.10 to
100 nm for peak operating wavelengths of 850 nm and 1300 nm. Let = 0.01, N1 =
